NOTES
A linear display of vessels at varying heights - always fun to make, and especially in July when the garden is at its most bountiful. This can be scaled up - for a large mantelpiece or entry console, for example - or down - for an undulating stream of vessels along a dining table. We love the gleam of old metal by candlelight.
