Bulb Vase

I am a Bulb Vase. Though the flowers may wither and wane, a vase I will stoutly remain. As the petals do fade, still I stay unafraid, and I’ll always be here at your aid.   Curator's Notes    The smooth curves of this vase remind me of an ancient Greek amphora. The Greeks would use their amphoras to transport large quantities of wine and various other liquid goods. You could also fill this little vase up with wine, but I don’t think it would get you very far. A mini bouquet of flowers is probably more suitable.   Bulb Vase was curated by Angélique Chmielewski   Designer/Maker    Maker: Kasahara Shoundo Co.   Designer: Yuka Arii   Specifications   Dimensions:  2.4” (w) x 2.4” (l) x 3.0" (h) or 60mm (w) x 60mm (l) x 75mm (h)   Weight:  6 oz or 176 gr   Materials: Brass (60% copper, 40% zinc)   Details Made in Japan Water can be held in the vessel Heavyweight Blackened antique brass finish Supplied in a paulownia (kiri) wood box Wipe with diluted dishwashing detergent and a soft cl
