'tredicivasi' ('13 vases') presents a special collection of thirteen large pewter vases,
designed by switzerland-based architect mario botta. the vases are formed from tin plates
which have been melted, shaped, and welded by hand into a variety of interesting
voluminous forms. all pieces are also hand -brushed and -polished.

five of the works are produced in a 33-edition limited run by italy's numa,
the small-run contemporary design house of serafino zani industrial design company.
