Description
This vase is part of a Collection inspired by the dress Her Majesty wore for her Coronation in 1953. Nicola wished to link the silver fern of New Zealand in a distinct design with Australia’s national emblem, the wattle flower. The wattle tree flowers in late winter with a mass of fragrant mustard-yellow flowers, and when fanned by the silver from New Zealand’s ferns, they truly dart and dive with the wattle in effortless beauty.
