Peccato Snake Vase

Taking its name from the Italian for "Original Sin", the Peccato Originale vase draws upon one of the most enduring motifs in art and mythology.  An elegant serpent coils around the ceramic form, its gilded body winding across the surface before emerging with an apple clasped between its jaws. 

Entirely hand-decorated, the vase exemplifies Piero Fornasetti's enduring fascination with symbolism, illusion and visual storytelling.  Equally suited to displaying flowers or as a standalone decorative object, it brings the imaginative character of the Milanese atelier to shelves, consoles and table settings alike.

Produced from an archival Fornasetti design and handcrafted in Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany, each limited-edition numbered vase is crafted in glazed ceramic using a third-firing technique.

Supplied with a Certificate of Guarantee, every piece reflects the artisanal traditions shared by two celebrated Italian makers.
