My third one! Yes, they're that good!
I bought the first one for myself as a confirmation gift because one of our Deacons, in a class for new Catholics, said every Catholic home must have a few things - one of them was a statue or photo or painting, etc., of our Blessed Mother Mary. I bought the second for a woman in my Bible study, who is from Peru and just moved into a new home. I bought the third one for my sister, because when she saw a photo of mine, she fell in love with it - not for the religious appeal, but from a folk art perspective - and after looking at many online, I can't agree more. I watched the video of how the artisan makes the retablo and it added even greater value to it. I simply love them. I love the scene behind Mary - the high mountains, and the flowers, in a wooden box with doors. I mounted mine on a wall in my home office and see it from where I sit. I'm buying the next one as a thank you gift for a close friend who I will be visiting in a few weeks.

Beautiful Pieces for Any Room
I own 6 pieces of Jesus Rivas geometric cream and black vases. I have these displayed in our living room. The black color is achieved by using mango leaves. It's a complicated, time consuming process. It's an eco-friendly process. Jesus Rivas uses mango leaves to achieve the rich black color for his vases. The vases have a matte finish with minimal gloss. His creativity is truly unique and modern. He has 2 very tall (over 22") vases. His vases are statement pieces that look fantastic grouped with other pieces or alone. I purchased 1 of his taller vases. I grouped several of his vases together in our living room. The tallest vase sits on the floor. We have received many compliments on the vases (pieces) by Jesus Rivas. I highly recommend his vases. You will enjoy these beautiful, modern, geometric vases for many, many years!
