Christmas Cactus

Posted on 21:00 by Ashish Chaturvedi
A exotic gift idea for the modernist horticulturist who has everything - an absolutely fascinating abstract glossy glazed ceramic cactus by Marianne Westman for Rörstrand, circa 1960s, Sweden.

Shot on location at Hudson River Flowers - conveniently located across the street from our shop!
