Seletti Hybrid Vase Adelma

The Seletti Hybrid Adelma Vase is a powerful and intriguing dialogue between two magnificent cultural traditions, creating a single design object that defies conventional aesthetics. Each half of this unique vessel tells a story from a different corner of the world, brought together in a stunning visual paradox.

On one side, a vibrant red imperial dragon coils amidst mystical blue clouds and flame-like wisps, a quintessential motif from traditional Chinese art, echoing the grandeur of Ming and Qing dynasty ceramics. This potent symbol of power and good fortune meets its Western counterpart on the other half: an elaborate European heraldic crest adorned with intricate scrollwork and a commanding golden handle, reminiscent of Baroque and Neoclassical aristocratic symbolism.

The deliberate golden seam where these two powerful narratives converge highlights their harmonious yet striking contrast. The Seletti Hybrid Vase Adelma transcends mere functionality, standing as a unique and bold decor statement piece that celebrates the beauty and tension born from cultural fusion.
