It'd been sitting by the gas fireplace for twenty years. Before that, the 2.5' vase spent two years in our rental apartment on Agnes Street. Prior to being in Canada, it had survived along with most of our possessions on a sea voyage in a container from Dubai. We bought the Iranian piece of pottery from Sharjah in the UAE in the mid-90's. Ceramic items used to arrive by dhow from Iran.
It now sits downstairs in a dumpster in five pieces.
Today, I was moving furniture so I could plug the
Google Home Mini into a different location in the living room. I heard the familar object tip over and smash behind me.
Damn.
