"SOMACO" VASE - SILVER PLATED

Silver plated vase, designed by Marco Zanini in 1999, 70x15 cm, h.10 cm.                                                                                                                                                                      "The difficulties of an art appear in its least successful or even bad examples, whereas the good ones convey the certainty of easy succes, precisely because everything in them has been solved and looks effortless". These words by the writer Ennio Flaiano nicely describe the results aimed at by us in producing the most challenging collections of silver. The reflecting surfaces of this large vase entail the utmost difficulty of manufacture. Our intent has been however to focus on a victorious battle won without uncertainties or adjustments or, still less, the sufferings of the handmade. The vase by Marco Zanini is intended to respect and enhance the beauty of flowers. With equal respect and enthusiasm we have tried to express in the finished work the original beauty of his drawing and the inner meaning of the design.
