This technique allows to keep the colors bright and the details sharp. The color combination here is strong and vibrant and based on a pattern of yellow, red and black. The design of the vase stylizes the blooming of a field of red poppies in golden morning summer sky. The body of the Vase is composed of an original mosaic of fine black filigree and bright red and vivid yellow glass tesserae, an energetic interplay of transparencies. The detachment of the punty denotes its completely handmade workmanship. One of a kind, it will add a touch of elegance and brightness color to any room.
