<p>That’s why I’m such a sucker for this powerfully subtle earthenware &#8220;Love Is Blind&#8221; vase by Canadian artist <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#00ff00;"><a href="http://www.mobcollection.com/index.asp?navid=35&amp;csid2=11"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#00ff00;">Jessica Lertvilai</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">. </span></span>A love message is transcribed into braille on the side of the vase, giving it not only a delicate texture but also a (mostly) hidden meaning and the wonderful secret of knowing that the words are right there, just waiting to be touched. This strikes me as such a tender and romantic gesture, plus you can put orchids in it. Future boyfriends take note!</p>
