My favorite vase of all time was a gift from my now deceased baby brother, Michael. Sadly, it was destroyed in the 2006 earthquake that struck the Big Island . It was a very tall, elegant, rectangular vessel of irregular vertical textures in a white bisque porcelain, glazed on the inside. I wish I had a photo of it! Interesting vases add character and visual delight to any room.
