Cornucopia of blues! I am currently producing some of my most interesting blues ever. If you are interested in blue, this is the time you have been waiting for. Too many pieces to photograph them all, but here are links to pictures of more blues. These were quickly taken pictures, and there is some lens distortion at the edges. All vases are straight, level, and plumb, of excellent quality, and in perfect condition.
