Designer Matteo Cibic pays homage to renowned Baroque sculptor Pietro Tacca with this one-off vase combining prized white Michelangelo, black Marquina, and red Levanto marbles in a fine harmony of proportions and hues. Comprised of an elongated base, a flattened body, and two disks placed at the sides, the design will elevate a contemporary home or private study. Displaying fresh flowers requires the addition of vials or jars since the piece is not water-tight. Please note that marbles and stones are natural materials and they can differ also if coming from the same quarry or the same block. The product shown may differ from purchased items. Every piece is unique. Vases made of various marbles cannot guarantee water tightness, better not to use for cut flowers unless with vials for each flower, an internal glass/plastic jar or gel water pearls.

The drawing of a painter is like the intimate diary of a man of letters”, wrote Lamberto Vitali speaking of Amedeo Modigliani’s sketches that seem to relive in Pietro, in the elongated form, the descriptive attitude, the development, a vase that transcends use to celebrate a way of making art that is a gesture of the unconscious, collective memory, material inheritance.
