Note
This vase was probably a failed attempt by Fantoni, which is why the drawing is not perfect and the piece is not signed.
“I don’t love Photoshop; I like imperfection. It doesn’t mean ugly. I love a girl with a gap between her teeth, versus perfect white veneers. Perfection is just… boring. Perfect is what’s natural or real; that is beauty.” ― Marc Jacobs
