Container Ceramic


Container

Looking at this sketch this morning, I noticed I'm a bit kerwonkety on the vase's sides-- oh well, must have been the late night!!

For Kate's alumni group, this month's theme is containers -- filled or empty. This ceramic vase was purchased in Sicily last year. (Mercy, I wish I had brought more home!!) I fell in love with the colors and its utilitarian value. The colors inspired our repainting of the master bedroom and bath and so this has a home on the bathroom counter.

To offset so much bisque-yellow of the rooms, we've added bright burgundies in the form of flowers and towels.

What is it about containers that is so warm and homey? I JUST LOVE THEM!

Your vase is beautiful in the drawing so it must be stunning in reality! Funny, I have a lot of the golds and cobalt blues in my home. I love the warmth of the Italian palette
