Colors are blended then pressed into an optic mold before twisting to produce the fluid image that appears in the vase wall.

Filled with water and illuminated by a submersible light emitting diode a jade colored sea is projected outside the vase.

The lantern is a great banquet table centerpiece or room gift.

Place a lantern in the center of each table, turn on the LED and a pulsing light pattern is projected onto the table.

Subdue the lights in the banquet hall prior to people filing in for the full effect.

It is the world’s largest permanent desert lake known as the Jade Sea from its deep greenish blue, aquamarine color.
