bronze flowers in an orange pot


bronze flowers in an orange pot, originally uploaded by marcofrey.

here's a new painting that's in The Art of Touch. show. the orange flower pot is my current obsession. it is actually a little yellow flower vase with 5 flower bud vases protruding from it. It belonged to my great grand mother and it is just so cool. on the bottom of the vase is written "HenRiot Quimper France 119". on the front of the vase is a little drawing of a women with a basket of eggs kneeling down in a clearing. she is dressed in traditional clothing that reminds me of the Brittany region of France.

I just did a quick online search and found this: Henriot



so the mystery is mostly solved. i just need to figure out when this piece was created and how many more like it there are. i'll take a pic and post it soon...
