A Baroque style "harmonica" vase, according to the Herend website: "... manufactured at Herend since the 1840s. This ornamental piece took master painter István Lázár several weeks to complete. In order to obtain the best likeness of the famous face, the piece of porcelain had to be fired three times at 800 degrees, as the colors change shades with every firing. This is a unique vase which will not be available in the shops." This one-of-a-kind vase was presented to Tony Curtis on the occasion of his 80th birthday at the MGM hotel in Las Vegas. Marked on base, "6612-0-00/ T. Curtis/ F.F./ Lazar Istvan/ From your Hungarian Friends." In a fitted box. 10 3/4 by 8 by 4 inches. Categories: Tony Curtis
