A modern love translated into a romantic but unpredictable gift.It’s not a dream, it’s love in bloom.It’s not springtime, it’s love in bloom. The iconic Love In Bloom vase is also available in a stunning edition inspired by the Japanese art Kintsugi. Kintsugi ('golden joinery'), is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise. The great success of the Love In Bloom continues with another version that celebrates the tradition of the Sacred Heart. The iconic shape is now adorned with flowers, flames, and tattoo-inspired ribbons - see Holy Love In Bloom.
