daymay says:This is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen, it should be in a showroom window, this is a piece I would buy for myself, and I don’t buy much for myself. It is absolutely gorgeous, breath-taking. You should make more with different colors and sell them as Christmas gifts, they’d be gone in no time.
