I liked this vase because it is small. It is as small as my hand. The paintings are very detailed and very small. In the bottom middle of the painting, there are very, very small humans. The artist must have looked away a lot while painting because it is very hard to look at something that small for a long time. Once I was drawing something, and I thought it looked good. Then a little while later, I looked back at it and realized it had a very long neck. I already colored it with markers, so I couldn’t fix it. That was a sad time. But this is not a sad vase. I like it a lot.
