Finally, the flowers were hand-painted and applied to the vase. Finally, the entire vase was glazed with polychrome enamels and fired at high temperatures, which first fixed and then vitrified the glaze. Signed under the base by the manufacturer "ilsa" and bearing the catalog number "204," it can be attributed to ivos pacetti or nino strada, two of the manufacturer's most important artistic directors. Dating to the first half of the 20th century, 1900.
