1960s Ceramica di Milano (Italy) Double Ended Bud Vase

I adore mid-20th century Italian pottery - especially the production from Ceramica di Milano and I think it's obvious why, they're so decorative.  This vase is doubly brilliant - in both the shape and the decoration (isn't the girl in spectacles fabulous?).  Quite unusual this one I think.  Designed to hold two individual flower stems.  It would make a charming and unique gift.  Fully marked to the base.

SIZE:  Height:  16cm  

CONDITION:  As one would expect with items of this vintage, there are a few signs of use - mainly one chip to the inside edge of the lower branch which can be seen clearly in the extra photographs provided.  There is no damage at all elsewhere on the vase that I can see - the rim of the taller branch is blemish free.  It doesn't, in my opinion, detract from the highly unique and decorative appeal of this particular item, however it has been reflected in the asking price.
