Dionysus and Apollo

I was very pleased by my two beautiful vases, which were very well packed indeed, and arrived safely to Cardiff sooner than I expected. I was actually in the Demeter Galleries in Athens in June, and bought 2 vases while I was there. Unfortunately,
I accidentally left them in a bag on the bus coming home to Cardiff at 2 am.. I reported the bag missing that morning, but it was never returned to me. Someone must have taken the bag with my beautiful objects. I hope they appreciate them.
Luckily, I had taken a leaflet from this wonderful shop and was able to make use of their easy to use online service to order replacements.
I am now looking forward to giving the Apollo urn to my daughter for her birthday as a surprise. She's loved the Greek Gods since she was 10 and she's now turning 30. Apollo has always been one of her favourites as she writes music and poetry herself. I know she'll appreciate the fine craftmanship and painting. Thank you very much.
