The Beauty in Ordinary Things

Interview by Linda M. Castellitto

A little glass pitcher started it all.

Says Susan Vreeland, author of the Book Sense 76 pick* Girl in Hyacinth Blue, "I can tell you the moment I sensed I wanted to tell stories about things in museums: In the L.A. County Museum of Art, I found a small glass medicine pitcher - only four inches high - shaped like an animal, with a snout for the spout. The sign next to it said, 'Phoenicia, 2nd century.' And I thought, how many hands did it pass through before I got to see it? Who was the craftsman who blew this? What was his life like? Was his village in want or in plenty? What did his kids want from him that day? Did he feel the sun baking the back of his neck as he blew the glass?"
