Sorbet exists to prepare you for something even better on its way. The Peridot Sorbet Peony takes this logic seriously. Peridot has been a gemstone since the Bronze Age and has not particularly needed the validation. The Sorbet Peony is shaped in the full double form with layered petals and a center that sits slightly raised — a ceramic wall flower, 5.5 inches across, one screw, no water. The combination of a color that old and a name that optimistic produces something that is difficult to look at and feel nothing. The peony is ready when you are.
