HELLO,
ReplyDeleteI just bought another one of these pitchers in Paris, France.
So unique, I had to have it. Now I see that there are 2 in the world. LOVE IT, and the mystery of what it all means (the 2 images) makes this pitcher even more fun. If anyone has more information to share, please do! I currently am using it as a flower vase, WORKS GREAT!
Thanks.
