#C08 Vanilla Orchid

Story card available with purchase

The Vanilla Orchid is the source of the real vanilla pods that are used in baking and the perfume industry. Each vanilla orchid bloom lasts only one day and must be pollinated or it will be shed, never to open again. After pollination, it takes the blossom 9 months to mature into a dried vanilla pod. The Vanilla Orchid was first cultivated in Mexico by the ancient Totonaco people. Legend says that the blood of two fallen lovers marked the spot where the first vanilla orchid grew and that its scent is the aroma of true love and beauty.

Note: Ordering deadline for this piece is June 30th, 2010.

In the Victorian language of flowers, orchids were often used to symbolize rare beauty. This piece, designed by Laura Klein with glaze design by Eric Anderson, truly captures the beauty as well as the rare and precious nature of the orchid. Eric’s outstanding glazing on this piece, as well as his affection for orchids, led him to select the Rare Beauty as his Fifth Anniversary piece. Eric hopes that others will enjoy this piece as much as he enjoys using this special combination of glazes on such a beautiful flower. More
