Floreali

Made during the same period as the Mosaico vases, the Floreali vessels demonstrate an equal level of artistic virtuosity. Created by Guiseppe and Benvenuto Barovier, these works express the Art Nouveau style with naturalistic motifs of leaves, vines, buds, flowers and ears of wheat. The pieces presented in this collection represent some of the most rare and beautiful examples of this technique
