100% make-up Proust

Didn't expect the hand-painted dots to feel so tactile up close, but that's what sold me. The numbered edition plate on the base confirms it's one of the 999, which matters if you collect this kind of thing. It's sitting on my shelf next to a Mucha print and honestly holds its own.

Owning number 412 of 999 makes the whole thing feel less like a purchase and more like a small piece of design history. The ceramic has a weight to it that I didn't expect, and the painted face is just as bold in person as it looks in photos.

The hand-painted pattern on this vase is even more vivid in person than in photos. Knowing only 999 exist makes it feel like a genuine little piece of design history on my shelf. The ceramic has a nice weight to it without feeling fragile.
