This important vase is Rosetree's interpretation of the destruction from Hurricane Katrina seen upon New Orleans.  Each piece is individual and represents specific symbols that are now ingrained in everyday life in New Orleans.  The multi-colored base symbolizes the multi-cultural blend of people unique to the city and it's partially covered by a thickness of heavily rippled glass representing the flood waters.  A thin wrap of black glass on the body of the vase is a reminder of the high-water mark left on thousands of buildings.  A bright blue lip on each vase echoes the ubiquitous "blue roofs" that temporarily cover many homes while a single embedded glass flower above the water line symbolizes the birth of a "new" New Orleans that will rise above the tragedy.

Shown in Amethyst, Amber and Green.

Largest Dimension: 14.5".  Available in: Amber, Amethyst and Green.

The Rosetree Glass Studio was founded in 1993 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Every piece is individually hand-crafted with its own unique character.  All examples are representational.
