Flower Vase - Shimentori

I am a Shimentori Flower Vase. That corner of your home is looking rather stark. Add a bit of nature!

Curator's Notes 

These porcelain Jicon vases are great to display that one unexpected single rose from a special someone. Elegant and simple, they are also the perfect vessel for showing off small bouquets. A nice gift for Mom or collect all three shapes for a beautiful flower vase arrangement.
