Stunning, though pinker than picture
The pictures of this item make it look like a color intermediate between purple and pink, however in person, under natural light, I would describe it as being redder/pinker and I would probably describe the color scheme as just pink, maybe with hints of purple. The top panel also looks white in natural light. As purple is my favorite color I'm a little bit disappointed in that, and yet despite that, it is really amazing work. Had I known what it would look like in natural light, it's possible that I'd have gone for "Cajamarca Splendor" by the same artists, which is a bold combination of secondary colors including purple. However, regardless, I am very happy that I have one of these cabinets, and this color scheme would have been one of my top two finalists for which one I wanted, regardless. I am very happy to have it; it is such a neat piece, and I am amazed that when you consider how much it would cost to ship this much glass from the Andes, they can offer it at this price.

This box is simply gorgeous!
At first, when I looked at the pattern on this box, it seemed sort of old fashioned, but the more I looked, the more beautiful the box became. I now own three items in this "Golden Colonial Elegance" pattern: this box, a set of coasters, and a tray. I am in love with all of them. Ms. Polo's work is just so beautifully made and done, these things are really gorgeous is all I can say, and I thank her for the beauty she has given me.
