Ooooooh....my.......GOODNESS!!!!! This is Tomomi Handa brilliance at its absolute finest - the most beautiful Tomomi marble I've ever sold, and I think it's safe to say, the most beautiful flower marble I've ever seen!! Each side has an incredible bouquet featured, and Tomomi has adorned it with both her butterfly murrine on one side, and her ladybug on the other. To top it all off, Tomomi went crazy on the equator of this marble, and added a stunning number of sweet little blossoms. EACH one of those blossoms has to be painstakingly applied with a special technique that comes from the Japanese soft glass world (even though this is boro), and all in all, there is an enormous amount of work in this marble. It is an absolute masterpiece from Tomomi, and yes, it is insanely hard to let go of this one. WOW!!!!!
