I received my black mango wood vase last week. It is so beautiful in it's simplicity that I don't even need to put anything in it. Instead it has it's own place and I just love to look at it. Of course knowing that Ms Saithong passed away makes owning the vase bittersweet. Very sad. She was so young. Our son is adopted from Thailand which was my reason for purchasing art from Thai artisans to begin with. Thank you for being a conduit between people on opposite sides of the globe.
