Violetta Admiral Vase christmas at home

Violetta Admiral Vase christmas at homeMany decades ago, the late Aldo Cremona, a master painter who worked at Villa Bologna Pottery for 65 years, decided that hed had enough of painting only men and decided to turn some of our Admiral vases a nod to Maltas seafaring military history into women. Everyone liked them so much, we kept them. Now you can choose between handsome sailors in striped tops, or winsome women bedecked in jewellery. Both look beautiful with a bunch of fresh flowers.
