Hello,
I found in an antic shop, a tall vase cobalt blue and smoked purple. It looks recent, and it is signed Paolo Crepax at the bottom, but also A. Riecke on the vase neck.
Did Paolo Crepax make some reeditions of Anatole Riecke vases ?
May I send you a picture of this vase ?
Thank you for your help
Kind regards
Julie Epron
