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. |

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

he enjoys using this special combination of glazes on such a beautiful
flower. More |
