painted decanter for your enjoyment
« on: February 27, 2010, 07:46:36 PM »
 :) :)
Just a standard cheap decanter that was possibly filled with bath bubbles or something but just look at the decoration on it now - it must be a children's illustrator or similar who has painted this (signed PW) and it is stunning (at least in my opinion)
Enjoy

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

 ;D Ivo.
Actually now I've taken the horrid plastic cover off the stopper which stopped it going in properly, it looks great, and isn't quite as horrible a decanter as I had first thought.
I just love the painting on it - quite exquisite.
