I'm in the processing of turning a junk room into a guest room and these vases provide the touch of color the room needs. They are bright and beautiful - very true to what you see in the catalogue, which is not always the case.
I wanted a feminine, delicate-looking (yet sturdy) parasol to wear with Regency period costume. This fit the bill perfectly, and also looks smashing with modern-day clothes. And, of course, it keeps my fair skin cool and shaded from the summer sun.
