I asked Brenda if she remembered when we bought this ceramic rose, and neither of us could remember for sure - somewhere around 25 or 30 years ago. We've had to dust it off every now and then, but it's still fresh and bright - like our 40 plus year (love affair) marriage.

It's still one of my favorite pieces. djnana · 2010-03-19: 20:56
