DescriptionThis is a light, sea green vase, internally decorated with several fish and a mermaid. The mermaid is in black and gold glass and is swimming amongst the multi-colored fish. This vase is very much in the style of the work that Alfredo Barbini (Italian, b. 1912) produced for Gino Cenedese.
