A postmodern limited-edition porcelain vase with lid from the first edition of the “100% Make-Up” series by Alessi Tendentse, Italy, released in 1992. The vase’s shape was designed by Alessandro Mendini, and as part of this project, 100 contemporary artists — including Philippe Starck, Paola Navone, Ettore Sottsass, and Carla Accardi — were invited to create unique decorations. Each of the 100 designs was produced in only 100 copies, resulting in a total of just 10,000 vases. This is Vase No. 64, featuring a design and decor by Luigi Ontani. The vase is in excellent condition, marked and numbered 06306/10,000 on the underside. It comes with the “100% MAKE UP” book, which explains the project in English and Italian and illustrates all 100 designs. Height: 15“, diameter 5“
