Sandro Botticelli's Birth of Venus painting has been adapted to the surface of a ceramic vase in which one can display a beautiful small flower bouquet. The vase is an oval shape with details on all sides. We see Venus emerging from the sea on a shell as Zephyr the wind god blows her to shore. An attendant brings her a cloak. This vase is part of an art vase collection called Silhouette d'Art. It is crafted from fine ceramic and decorated with a famous masterpiece painting. Vases are a cooperative effort between two European fine art manufacturers -- Parastone, a Dutch Art Company, and John Beswick, a British ceramic company. The famous art masterpieces are selected for their visual beauty and then applied to a special shaped vase design with a cut edge to enhance a design element from the painting. |
