Useful information for evaluating the item:
Our web research shows that Claudio Pulli, in addition to boasting numerous auction results, has several items listed on various online art and antiques sales sites at very high prices. On Pamono, for example, we found a ceramic wild boar offered at €800, a ceramic vase with iridescent pink enamel offered at €560, and a final vase, slightly larger but very similar to ours in style, colors, and technique, offered at €750. This gives an idea of the importance and value of the ceramics created by the artist.

Final considerations on the object:
This vase is a classic example of the techniques used by the artist: engobed and acid-treated, coated in lead and tin glaze, with craquelure induced to antique the piece. A classic example of the artistic ceramics created by Claudio Pulli.
