Beautiful thing. I'd like to see a larger base ...but maybe that's why she sold it !

Excellent work Bruce! The carved relief under the lip really caught my eye.

How did you attach the handles?

Excellent work Bruce! The carved relief under the lip really caught my eye.

How did you attach the handles?Thank you Brian for the nice comment, the handles are attached with Sterling Silver Wire and Epoxy. I used a small 1/2" piece of the wire as a pin drilling a hole just a bit bigger than the wire dipping the wire in epoxy and pushing them together, this was the top part: for the bottom a hole was drilled threw the handle into the vase and the epoxy covered pin was pushed in; a small amount of the sanding dust was added to the epoxy in the hole to blend the color.
