These lovely little Venetian Murano vases are quite simply the finest we have ever come across. the color evades description, limpid and slightly golden green, they may be made of canal water, frozen in time. the color also is the same as clear Etruscan glass after its marinated in the earth since the 7th-century bc. we love the silhouettes evoking Etruscan urns and the scale is absolute perfection because it can equally grace a powder room, a side table, a dressing table, or a coffee table. we like it best in a little plaster niche. please zoom in on the squiggle serpentine handles and savor the care you will take with this delicate object when it is in your hands. just one antique white carnation from the deli is perfect here. so would be any antique carnation variety like Antigua, hypnosis or Babylon. and why are carnations relegated to delis? they used to have starring roles in old masters ranging from Van Eyck to Vincenzino and symbolized the tears of mary and therefore mothers love. whoops. but we digress.
