good ❘❘❙❙❚❚ ON SALE ❚❚❙❙❘❘

This exquisite SIGNED LEFTON mid century VASE is in MINT condition and ever so beautiful!

The color of the vase is a very soft, very beguiling, very sweet PINK. It has three legs, all in perfect condition and the tips of the legs and in a border around the legs is hand-painted 24K GOLD GILT PAINT.

The top of the vase is semi-ruffled, and the front of the vase showcases MAGNIFICENT HIGH RELIEF FLOWERS in PALE PINKS and BLUES. Hand painted around these beautiful flowers are tiny leaves. There are also high relief flowers on the very top of the vase in two places, but these are covered by the bountiful bouquet.

The height and width of the vase WITH FLOWERS varies as they are arranged to do what a REAL BOUQUET might: sweep over the sides, rise to different heights, twist around one another, peek out from behind the other, trail down the back, etc.

Standing 3" tall WITHOUT flowers, this belle can rise to the height of 5" with flowers.

WITHOUT FLOWERS, it is 3" wide, but, WITH them, the width can be as much as 5 1/4."

NO TWO FLOWERS ARE ALIKE, and each was made and placed to work with the coloring of this fine piece and to achieve the look of a real bouquet.

The flowers are ALL MULTI-LEVEL: transparent, luminescent, pearlized, painted, celluloid, glass, frosted, crystal, lucite, enamel, gemstone, acrylic, painted metal, filigree and stacked with gold, copper and a variety of other materials.

This shabby chic wonder's bouquet features myriad vintage and present-day elements, with most of them vintage. The elements used are the following (however, not limited to the following): GENUINE PINK JADE (several different shades of pink jade), A LARGE PINKY WHITE COIN PEARL bordered with pink and white rhinestones, SWAROVSKI crystals in "shades of pink," genuine BURGUNDY JADE, shamballa balls in many different pink hues, vintage LAMP WORK beads, vintage workbench beads, hand painted CZECH pink and gold beads, crackle beads, smooth pink porcelain beads, genuine FRESHWATER PINK PEARLS, SWAOROVSKI rhinestones, vintage hand painted porcelain beads, crystallized beads, Swarovski rhinestone rondelles, vintage corsage pins, painted and layered pink enamel, vintage pink beads studded with faceted rhinestones, painted tin, painted enamel; brass, copper, 14K GOLD and bronze fILIGREE, acrylics, painted metal, vintage filigree leaves: pink and white luminescent vintage flower bead caps, gold plate, etched gold plate, etched 14K gold, etched pink and white "leaf" pins, and leaves and bead caps with RHINESTONES hand-set by me.

Every RHINESTONE was hand selected and HAND SET by me personally!

The piece glistens madly and picks up the light with abandon.

In MINT CONDITION, the lovely porcelain is pristine. There is not a nick, scratch, cut, chip or any crazing anywhere on the piece. There is also NO PAINT LOSS.

These make magnificent gifts, but they can also adorn your home in fabulous ways: put one in a bathroom, a bedroom. Use them as centerpieces (see my "about" page for a look at how I used them at various family events, like Thanksgiving), use them at weddings: one on each table: or smaller ones at every place setting at a big event.

The uses of these lovely ONE OF A KIND PIECES are as endless as the imagination.

Here is a true vintage treasure in search of a home.

***Photos taken with and without flash - and there are some photos from above to see the different flowers. It was impossible to photograph each individual stem, so look closely at the photos and you will always see something different.

***SHIPPING: Porcelain is heavier than most items. If you add the abundance of flowers, the piece gets even heavier, so the shipping price might seem high. HOWEVER ---- ANY OVERAGE IN SHIPPING WILL BE PROMPTLY REFUNDED. If I miscalculated and the piece costs more to ship than stated, I will absorb the overage.
