These two vases are very atractive and as a set have been painted as one offs. The design is influenced by fire or flames, and they look good as decorative vases or can be used for plants.

To clean wipe with damp cloth or dust them down. All so on show are some other items that are for sale at the right price. The painting is also for sale at around
£70 one.
