  Standing Fish Vase

  9 saves, 30 months ago

  A creative way to display fresh-cut flowers or greens, fruit, or perhaps a collection of shells or polished stones. Thick-walled vases are mouth-blown from clear glass; the fins and tails are worked by hand when the glass is still red-hot. A sign of the artist’s skill, each is virtually flawless, yet each has its own personality. Standing fish is 6" diameter, 15 1/2" high.
