Ladyslipper Terrarium -- $ 9,500.00| Buy it here

Oh my, have you seen this? Found while perusing images for the lítill terrarium, this glass box is crazy elegant. Finely crafted indeed at $9,500.00. Ouch.

Lindsey Taylor Design and Atlas Industries introduce ‘ladyslipper’, the first in a new line of terrariums, to be called the Wardian Case collection. In this collaboration, Taylor and Atlas seek to recapture the flavor of the Victorian Wardian case, forerunner of the modern terrarium, as both a finely crafted piece of furniture, and a piece of living art, an object of fantasy and wonder. ladyslipper presents a lush environment, planted with the orchid from which it takes its name, ferns, mosses, and other tropical plants, poised on an elegant base of steel and bronze.

Custom specifications available.

Too cute. Not only do I eat pork, but I think they’re totally adorable as inanimate objects. Conflict of interest with earthy-crunchy types? Maybe, but I’d rather this than a talking carrot. Barry White’s “Never, Never Gonna Give You Up” just took on new meaning.
