This spectacular Floral Ivy dress vase stands 18" tall and is part of a collection designed by Canadian artist Michael Menashy. Signed on the bottom, the hand painted vase is a beautiful organic design that depicts a natural upward growth of wild vine flowers. Rich yellow and vibrant pink flowers are contrasted by the graduated dark blue/grey background which fades into a translucent pale grey.

It has been very delicately tubelined by experts to create the appearance of cloisonné (see below). The shapely contours of this vase and the fabulous intricate design make it a showpiece that absolutely can be used to hold cut flowers. This is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautiful piece of craftmanship.

New. Handpainted ceramic. 18” tall. Original maroon satin-lined gift box.

The technique: There are three steps involved in the production of each exquisite piece, First the imagery is sketched onto the raw bisque and then the slip trailing (raised line work) is carefully applied. Next comes the initial firing, then the painting is done and a second firing takes place. The item is then dipped in a glaze solution. Left to dry for a few hours, it is then put through a third and final firing. The result is a beautiful and rich finish with a brilliant glaze.
