11 7/8″ high x 6 5/8″ diameter
Italian Mid-Century Modern hand-thrown vase, 11 7/8″ high x 6 5/8″ diameter, with tall slightly tapering narrow neck, soft sloping shoulders and slightly bulbous cylindrical body and short raised foot. The distinctive bright glossy-yellow glazed oversize flower and foliage decoration is set against an analogous bright green ground. The hand finishing and detailing of this vase was executed with much skill and care, pointing to have been designed by Alvino Bagni when he worked for Bitossi / Raymor.
