ASCORTI New Dear

Italy

Another striking example of the creative vision of Italian artisan Roberto Ascorti is found in his famous New Dear series. The hallmark here is a deliberately rough rustication of the bowl paired with a polished shank and a glossy acrylic mouthpiece. A true collector’s item!
