    I like this vase a lot, it reminds me of a hot air balloon, I really would love this in my house! even if it was just empty, it’s such a nice design and you can tell a lot of work went into the glass blowing aspect of it because of the little details at the bottom of the vase it’s self.

      I think this is a nice slicer as it’s in the shape of a fish as well and I also like the way the handle is shaped and twisted around, it looks like a very strong handle because of that.
