Porcelain Vase - Andrea by Sadek

Lovely Chinese-inspired porcelain vase by Andrea by Sadek. Measures about 9.5” tall and 14” around the wisest part (see photos). Makers mark and what I believe is the original barcode sticker on the bottom. This vase is in excellent, almost new condition. No chips or significant marks that I can see.

Additional history on Norman Sadek: “Norman also participated in the opening of China. Sadek was one of the first to bring Chinese products to market, getting a jump on competitors by purchasing a warehouse of readymade products, then venturing into the mainland to work directly with factories.”sourced from GiftShopMag.com
