18th Century Italian Mecca Vase with Mica, Tourmaline, and Baroque Pearls

About the Item

Sculptural 18th century Italian mecca vase mounted with mica and tourmaline and adorned natural-forming baroque pearls. The mica and baroque pearls perfectly coordinate with the color of the mecca leaf vase. The vase originally came from a church in Liguria. It is painted with a mecca finish. The mica has tourmaline in the center which is precious and rare to find. The piece is put together by Jean O'Reilly Barlow, the artist and creative director of Interi. The date of manufacture reflects when she created the piece and the period shows that the Italian vase is originally 18th century. All the elements create a historic and contemporary work of old and new.
