Elegant Tall White Architectural Vase with Tiny Gray Flowers frog-shaped box There is a black labelJust a beauty of a vase, I'd fill this one with a flowering branch or two and it would make the room. Unsigned unmarked, it appears to have been thrown, then trimmed, so that the form is angular and the surfaces smooth.
