The Tema E Variazioni N.154 tray presents a hand-decorated surface depicting Lina Cavalieri with her palms raised over one eye and her mouth, rendered in black and white as part of Fornasetti's long-running figurative series. Hand-decoration means each piece carries minor distinctions, making the tray individually unique in finish and detail. A foldable stand is included, allowing the tray to be positioned as a coffee table, and the artisanal production process gives the lacquered surface its characteristic depth.
