Today this beautiful blue green vase, is part of the Rimini Blu collection.

This original measures approx. 12” in height with a 4.75 “ diameter. The piece is in very good condition with only one very minor paint chip on vase lip ( see photo) this doesn’t detract or take away from this spectacular piece. Running your finger around the lip - the structure is intact only a chip of the glaze has come off. This is a beautiful iconic Londi piece !
