Approx. measurements: 6 1/2" tall x 5 3/4 wide Due to size and fragility of this item, an extra $10 shipping charge will be added at checkout. Florence resides between France, Connecticut and Boston. On her work, she says: "My influence is certainly Asian. I made several trips to Japan but I have beenmostly influenced by the Korean aesthetic. While in Osaka I saw a simple and humble piece in the Osaka’s museum of ceramics which broke my heart. Well, there were two. One was a black gourd from Korea, the other a white vase, also from Korea, not even regular or symmetrical but full of elegance in its simplicity. It was a lesson than I humbly try to follow. (...) I like minimalism and simplicity and give priority to the shape of a piece so the decoration is secondary.
