Colonna Lacquered Straw Marquetry VaseThe bold colonnaded design and rounded base on this vase give it a thoroughly modern sophistication. At the same time, it incorporates a centuries old art: straw marquetry, also known as marqueterie de paille. The contrast of the deep marigold lacquered finish and the rich texture of the straw marquetry adds to the elegance of the vase. Crafted in Italy exclusively for us, the vase has a glass insert to ensure that it is watertight.
