Volga Porcelain Flower Vase by Matteo Thun for Memphis

About the Item

Volga porcelain flower vase by Matteo Thun (Italy/Austria) for Memphis srl (1983). Created for the 3rd Memphis exhibition in 1983, Thun was amongst a group of the movements designers that sought to add "everyday" objects to the growing, overall collection (glass, ceramics, silver objects, carpets). He was one of the most adept at offering cutting-edge, technically-impossible (or so it seemed) porcelain and ceramic objects --- his Austrian family owns the famed multi-generational Thun Ceramic Works.
