I was browsing in a china shop (not unusual for me!!) and found these balls with gorgeous lids resting on top. Of course I had to purchase a few, and this one I painted with pansies. In my mind I envisaged filling the ball with water and popping some fresh pansies in the top. Unfortunately the ball has a small portion underneath without glaze, which meant water slowly seeped through to the plinth underneath. So I can't use the ball for fresh flowers . . . . . I can only have it on a table or shelf "for show only" !!
