Made in Italy, standing at 24" tall, and weighing in at 15 pounds is what I affectionately call big boy, the largest vase in my collection. The owner wanted 50, and took my offer of $30. It was outside on his front porch covered in dirt when I noticed it.
I can't imagine what the artist(s) went through to produce this item. The heat coming off it must have been something else. The pontil break went well, and it was nice to see the crack did not develop beyond acceptance.
I have something similar although not as big I posted a while back Collecto. I picked it up at a church sale last Summer. Could be this guys little brother.

Thanks for all the loves everyone. And thank-you mikelv85. It was such a surprise to see you have little brother in your possession. I think you are right that mine might be connected to the same maker as yours. The similarities are there to say the least.
