NICE! The elephants are back in their habitat. I always thought damaged spelter was toast, but apparently it can be repaired if you're crazy...
The ones worn high up were often bar brooches for a reason - less likely to jab into your windpipe. I see the loop for the safety chain too, so...
It would be. All of the water would be in the bottom, to balance the top-heavy flowers it held. The shape is just good common sense for a vase...
Phew. Junque junkies everywhere thank you, and them.
