A rare pair of large marble vase`s.
This pair of vase`s are made from an unknown marble, which we discovered in an old Spanish marble merchants yard, and is believed to originate from south America in the 60`s.
We only produced this one pair from the stone we found, and have never found any more.
The markings in the marble look like the giant gas planet of Jupiter, with the veins swirling around each other, and dark spots here and there breaking the flow, all made by the hand of nature.
Size 50 x 20 cm.
I sent my son the link to your website with the vases you’re displaying for sale as a suggestion for a Christmas gift which he and his wife generously bought for me. I was taken aback on Christmas morning at the ones that had arrived. They certainly weren’t the ones advertised: the colours in the marble were the same as advertised on both except for the very large broad loop of white marble on the back side of one which I think would’ve been fair to have been mentioned in the description along with a picture, also the shape of the vases received are entirely different.
When selling on the internet the buyer can only rely on a comprehensive and honest description of what is actually being sold to give the expectant recipient an informed understanding before committing, that way there is no unexpected surprises leading to an initial disappointment particularly as it being an expensive gift.
Anyhow, due to size and weight of them and with the help of the colours in the marble I have kept them but they weren’t what was advertised.
All that said the shape will grow on me, I’m sure, because the colours in the marble on the front side are truly beautiful.
Dear Sir, we did inform you that the pair we had were different to the ones you wanted, and were only trying to help as these vases are all one offs, and pairs very rare.
The pair we sent were nearly twice the value, as they were made from a rarer marble, which has not been available since the nineties.
I would be very happy to take them back and refund you.
