Printed porcelain

notes:
Piero Fornasetti's graphic art often re-worked a single idea over and over again, allowing his imagination run free to develop new concepts.

The most famous of these ideas - the Themes and Variations, illustrated variations on the image of an enigmatic, almost Mona Lisa-like face of a woman.

The woman was Lina Cavalieri, whose face Fornasetti found while glancing through a 19th Century French magazine.

Originally four plates were designed by Piero Fornasetti - the plate series now has 350 variations.

This variation is exlusive to Moss.
