Uummannaq is 1170 metres high mountain in the shape of a heart on the western coast of Greenland (in fact, Uummannaq means “in the shape of a heart” in Greenlandic). Once you know about it you understand, and love, these UMANAK vases.
One of the most remarkable features in these vases is the thick top rim, flat-ish on top, that allows a small regular mouth., that matches the thick base whereas contrasting with the thin walls in its body.
This series can be found in three sizes: 9, 13/1 and 17 cms tall.
Can also be found in Smoke grey.
Color is especially nice. These are really lovely.
My Mom is thinking of heading out to Greenland this summer.
Thanks for yor love, Amber.
Shouldn't you be in bed by now? :)
Was, but woke up and now can't get back to sleep. Going to go back in a few minutes, need that beauty rest!
Of course! come on, go to bed and try to have nice dreams... maybe of glass mountains in Greenland ;)
You are sweet, and I did.
Thanks Bellin!
