There is nothing so fresh and fragrant as opening peonies. These are single petal peonies of a creamy pink hue. To keep everything soft and fresh looking, I tried not to overwork any part, especially the pitcher. Its many facets were tempting to spell out, but I tried for only a hint of the diamond shape pattern cut into the glass.
