Midnight Vase by Mendel Heit for Vista Alegre
Midnight series merges, through an inventive and technically complex process, techniques that are used both in porcelain and in crystal. After being produced and decorated at the porcelain factory, the pieces travel to the world of crystal, in Alcobaça, where, through engraving by sandblasting, along with a high fire cobalt blue, the embossing of the floral drawings is obtained.
Collection nominated for the German Design Awards 2017.
H 13" X L 7 1/2"
Made of porcelain.
The Vista Alegre brand is available here.
