No two passages of the glaze are alike — the enamels were poured to run and pool as they fired, so each vase carries its own drift of color.

The vases come from the Faïenceries de Thulin in Hainaut, the Belgian pottery known from the 1920s and 1930s for exactly this kind of running enamel work. Each base is impressed with a model number and the export mark "Made in Belgium."

Newly wired for U.S. use; international plug customization available at no charge. Height includes the shade.
