Wildflower Wednesday

This early to mid-Twentieth Century Japanese vase is of hand turned porcelain with lavish enameling.

Here on my table

The proud phoenix waits, ready

To burst into flame

…O…

This is Week 2 of Helene Parish’s Wildflower Wednesday Challenge.

Close up of some of the flowers. They look too perfect to be real.

This is a photo of some Ranunculus from our local florist. They went pettily in a Japanese vase that I found last week at the Sunday carboot sale for a mere $10! The colours seemed to go nicely. I was very happy to find this vase which is from the mid 1900’s and is lavishly painted with a riot of different flowers and two splendid phoenix.
