"Absolutely perfect !"
Exactly as pictured, stunningly beautiful and an unusual color (green), out-of-the-ordinary and exactly what I wanted. Very well made,. I wish all these lovely vases were slightly larger (8-11 inches tall), for better display visibility. But even at 4-5 inches, a lovely work of art to be proud of owning and to cherish. Highest praise to the artist !!
