Containers

For Thursday Challenge this week the theme is Containers. Here are two shots of containers, both open pitchers, without handles, both with colorful art on them. They are from different countries. Yes, one of them is from India. The first picture is an art work from Wayanad, Kerala a state in South of India. Can you guess where the second one is from? 


This one was an eye catcher. It was arranged among many on a shelf in a shop in Florence. The sales person there told us the art work is a copy of Picasso’s work. I am not sure how true that is, but then I simply had to take a shot.

What beautiful containers, and terrific shots for the day, Indrani! They're so colorful! I really like them both, but the ones from India are my favorite! Hope your week is going well!

Both of these containers are beautiful. I guess it really doesn't matter where that second container is from.
