Blooming Vase. Hamburg: Carl Willmann[?], 1900s. A spun metal vase is shown and filled with earth, then a seed is planted and the lid is replaced. Removed moments later, a beautiful bouquet sprouts inside, slowly and eerily growing and blooming from within. A large example; height 18? overall. Dents to lid and wear overall from use. Clockwork mechanism in working order. Uncommon.
