Glass Art Vases

This is one of my favorite art glass pieces from Brazil.

The vase's unique design takes it's form from an inverted handkerchief.

There are many more very different glass vases that you can buy as art work or simply as a decorative table centerpiece. These glass works are collectable and many decorators feature them on accent walls.

Many Italians immigrated to Brazil in the early 20th century, including families from the island of Murano near Venice. Antonio Carlos, a leading art glass designer in Brazil, was taught directly by Aldo Bonora, the first Italian master to arrive in Brazil from Murano Island.

With a flare for using liberal colors and fascinating contours which characterize these uniquely styled works of glass art vases. Today, they are dedicated mostly to exclusive decorative items in home decor. They create original designs and colors, intended for the most demanding public that appreciates Murano glass artistry.

Murano Artisans of Brazil have been featured in magazines ranging from In Style to Natural Health.

Get Well Gift Baskets

Sending a flower gift basket when a person is not feeling well, is one of the safest gifts to give when you are not quite sure what would be appropriate. Everyone appreciates a get well flower gift basket, when they are out of sorts or ill. You can always add something special to your basket like a couple of books or even a puzzle to give them something to do if the are bed ridden for awhile.

You can never go wrong with flower baskets and the nice thing about these baskets is the person can use the wicker basket later on after the flowers have disappeared. These flower baskets can be a get well or feel better soon gift. The colorful flowers are a good choice for someone that gets the winter blues and can hardly wait for spring.

Although get well gifts are fairly easy to buy they are not so easy to send, GiftTree can hold your gift and ship it to arrive anytime.
