The stylized face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri defines the 'Tema e Variazioni' series by Fornasetti, appearing across a selection of signature pieces. In the hand-decorated rectangular porcelain 'Tema e Variazioni N.363' ashtray, Cavalieri's face, in black and white monochrome, fills the entire design. Wide, almond-shaped eyes cross to observe a fly on her nose, a detail that captures the playful Fornasetti spirit. Products of fine artisanal craftsmanship, designs may display minor distinctions that make each one unique.
