Customer Reviews
This Bright Serif Flask (the short one in apricot) is absolutely stunning! It's sitting on the windowsill behind the sink and looks so pretty both on sunny days and at night, when the kitchen lights are on. I love the shape and color and especially the fact that the handle is a complimentary color! I also like the little flecks of gold on the bottom. Our newly renovated kitchen has white cabinets and countertops, a "moonstone" colored (blue-gray) island, light floors and beige-gray walls, so this flask provides a big pop of color. I would also like to get a couple smaller vases to go on each side of this beautiful piece.
This is my 3rd Vetro Viro piece and it will be a great addition; I think 3 works best for composition and to play with the overlap of color from each. One thing I didn't quite get from the picture is that the flask has an additional piece of different color glass on one side (I guess I thought it was as different vessel behind in the picture, my mistake). It makes it even more interesting :)
The quality and beauty of these glass pieces was exactly what I was looking for .
These pieces are nice but not sure I agree to the prices attached to them..
Each beautiful and colorful serif flask is interspersed along my lengthy kitchen window, in between long white lacquer planter boxes filled with blooming orchids. The glass flasks look out over the trees and catch and emit the southern sunlight through the day, flashing their beautiful colors. They are such happy colors!
