We are delighted to have sourced this marine marvel from Alfredo Barbini. This mid-century paperweight offers a Murano glass-tinted window into an underwater scene, where three curious fish among swaying algae cast their gaze over you. Hand-blown aquariums are notoriously difficult to master, and many are inspired by the great Barbini. Please note, this item is a truly original vintage piece with slight imperfections and distinctive characteristics that add to its charm and celebrate its unique history.

Costanza Paravicini calls her Milan workshop a "wunderkammer" – a gallery of curiosities for connoisseurs of fine hand-painted design. Her ceramic plates are like storybooks with the designs, by her daughters Benedetta and Margherita, hand-painted or silk-screened to depict fantastical scenes of snakes, monkeys and hot air-balloons.
