Black Glazed Angular Porcelain Bud Vase with Inky Blue Interior block houses I'm a sucker for wireThis striking small vase is gorgeous just on its own, but would also makes the perfect vessel for a bunch of violets or lily of the valley or anything cut to shortish stems. The inly blue glazed interior adds a subtle glow to the matte ish black exterior, and makes me think Richard Serra meets Ad Reinhardt at a tabletop scale! 5 3 8" w x 4 3 8" t x 1 1 2"d an d in excellent condition. Unsigned.
