In Praise of Flowers
Rose

Tranquility of the Rose

For centuries, the Rose has been a metaphorical flower and is a symbol of passion, beauty and affection. When our thoughts turn to flowers, they almost always picture a Rose because just like actuality in our senses, the Rose is the queen of flowers. A legend tells that the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, scarred herself with the thorn of a white rose, which evolved to red with her blood, making the Rose, the Queen of flowers.

Concerning the queen of flowers and her legends, how could a vessel dedicate its purpose for her to rest and lie on her deathbed during her last moments of glory?

This vessel is dedicated to the Rose by allowing us to praise, respect and love her as she rests on her deathbed while sipping last sip of water as her days go by.
