Since its inception, the Dolfi products have always been unusual: truly unique in shapes, colors and techniques. Highly regarded by discriminated buyers, ND Dolfi is a designer more than a ceramic workshop and thus featured in high fashion retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus Horchow and more.

A rare find, this large Italian blue and white vase is signed by ND Dolfi, and made exclusively for Coturra in the early 1980’s. The beautiful, vintage, Italian blue and white pottery vase, from the renowned workshop, is hand painted and decorated with blue plant motifs, or “Foglia de Montelupo,” on a highly glazed white background. The large vase looks excellent on a table filled with sun flowers, as an ornament on a shelf or mantel, and is large enough to easily be used as a floor focal point. Unusual in its shape, for vintage Italian pottery, the vase has a globular footed body with a slender collared neck. Both the footed base and collared neck are banded in blue with the neck having additional cross hatch hand painted detail. The vase's dimensions are
18" H x 10" W with a 7.5" base and 5' at top. less
