With its soft, fluid curves, the Starburst Vase exudes originality, paying graceful homage to period style--evoking a hint of Belle Epoch combined with a dash of Art Deco. A unique blend of almost translucent, frosted white and vividly colored art glass, Starburst lights up its surroundings, regardless of the style of decor.
