I also like the Verde Nero with its ear-shaped handles (auricular).

When we were there in 2006, I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted looking at vases, since they didn't interest my husband or daughter. More's the pity!<BR/><BR/>I looked at my European photos this morning and brought back memories of the trip. Wish I could go back.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8620940070153527301.post-21485842128134035942008-10-26T06:12:00.000-07:002008-10-26T06:12:00.000-07:00Duh.... it's probably Sevres.
