A Kind of Harmony

"Beauty is a kind of harmony and concord of all the parts to form a whole. . .a certain relation and order, as symmetry, the highest and most perfect law of nature, demands."

Alberti

*This teapot was made in Russia and has a special iridescent glaze on it. It was given to me by Rylan a few years ago. He ordered it and made a mistake on his order --- so received two teapots! But, they were not identical (one is pink with flowers) so both now have places of honor and each reminds me of his thoughtfulness.

  2. I was there where your tea pot was made in St Petersburg. It was amazing. Several other items were made in that pattern.
