Beautiful Vases
The coloring of the marble on these stunning vases is just beautiful. The hues of purple and orange really do catch your eye and bring attention to the wonderful shapes of the vases and how highly detailed they are. The black marble base they sit on gives them a sense of grandeur and they look lovely with bouquets of flowers coming out of the vase!
Love these pieces
