I just got this giant Legras vase. I found the shape in the legras book. this is the largest size this piece came in. I'd call a vase like this a vase but it's properly a jardinere according to the advertising literature. The flower is anemones.

I try to imagine what an item will look like when I see pics online, so this one would have floored me too. It is a wonderful piece of Legras; great find!
i knew from the height in the listing it was going to be big but yeah... mentally you think small for this
This is very beautiful!...:-)
