Antique Sacred Heart & Saint VasesExquisite, extremely rare & unusual porcelain vases from France with religious motifs: They have sacred hearts on one side & an unknown saint figure on the other. The vases are short, making them ideal bud vases for an altar or tablescape. You could also use them as candleholders. As they are handmade, theyre not quite identical: One is shorter than the other just by a hair. Both in excellent condition, without chips or cracks.
