Love It or Hate It? Richard Swanson Gemini Vase

This limited-edition Richard Swanson Gemini Vase ($770) nods to "the twins" Zodiac sign in smooth terracotta. I like the concept but not the execution. Even if it weren't a rare (only 22? am I reading that right?) and expensive piece, I don't think I'd buy it. What do you think?

    Fug. It looks like something you'd find at a thrift store and say 'I wonder who originally bought this thinking it was pretty?' and walk away from. Sorry but nooooo thanks!

    Too Siamese twins for me - definitely not my style.

    it'd be really pretty in frosted glass or seaglass (or maybe i'm just still obsessed with my seaside cottage glass chic...)

    $770 for something that resembles a garage sale tchotchke?!

    I like it... but I'd never buy it.

    It's something I'd like a picture of in a coffee table book or something

    I think it's cute to interpret the "twins" to make a container for flowers

    It looks like something I'd give as a gag gift exchange. If someone gave it to me, I'd have a hard time re-gifting it because I can't think of anyone who would like it.

    I love the concept, but I don't like the materials. I love that the subjects are voluptious- it reminds me of the Woman from Willendorf sculpture a bit, still too expensive tho.

    The price point isn't right. The material isn't right. But, the concept is cool. I love the shape of the figures.

    I thought it was made of chocolate at first. Actually, I think I'd like it more if it was made out of chocolate.

    Hate it, the concept is ok, but the execution is horrible. It looks like some sort of chocolate sculpture gone wrong.

    The piece has a "plastic" look to it. The design (legs) also look unstable. Not worth the $.

    I think I'd like it more if it were a different color, but either way, it's still not worth the money they're asking for it.

    I am a Gemini and I hate this. I actaully hate the Gemini symbol. It is always a little weird. Why isnt my sign a crab or lion or ram? even a fish would be fine. I am not a fan!
