Aurora Lacquered Straw Marquetry VaseWith its bold blue and red pattern and sleek geometric shape, this vase is rich in modern glamour. At the same time, it incorporates the centuries old art of straw marquetry, also known as marqueterie de paille. The contrast of the lacquered red and unlacquered blue over the marquetry adds a subtle textural contrast. Crafted in Italy exclusively for us, the vase has a glass insert to ensure that it is watertight.
