Unobtainable piece from the collectible ceramics series realized by Fornasetti for Winston brand in the 70s.
This piece is enriched by the drawing of the opera star Lina Cavalieri (1875-1944), defined as the most beautiful woman in the world, and the muse of several creations by Piero Fornasetti.
This subject is part of the iconic series “Tema e Variazioni” – this is the variation number 268 – incredibly up-to-date, with the opera star represented with Russian hat and a face mask!
Outstanding conditions, never used, minimal traces of time.
