I have had this hippeastrum for years and it faithfully flowers year after year. It is just like the dark red ones we used for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. They looked wonderful in the church with contored willow stems and we put white cyclamen, ivy and lots of candles on the windowsills. It was December and there were 80 mph winds.
Roman Bottle with Vitis vinifera'Purpurea'
watercolour and traces of gold
approximately 32cm x 26cm
mounted in cream museum board in a gilded and greyish green moulding
£450
My father found this Roman bottle either in Libya or in Egypt in the early 50's. I have always loved it. It has large chip out of the top, but otherwise is in good condition. It is wonderful to think that something so fragile has lasted for perhaps 2000 years.
