This hand-painted pottery is so beautiful and is just the right size, which is quite large and well proportioned, to sit on the floor beside the arm of our blue velvet sofa. Ao many interior designs have pottery in the rooms they decorate so I learned from that and observed that i needed to spend more on a large piece rather than spend less to have smaller pieces. It is breathtaking and well worth purchasing, i highly recommend it and this artist. It was shipped safely.
