Giant Granite flower vase, The Hermitage Museum - This astounding piece of Catherine the Great's collection, is said to be a granite 'Vase'. It is overwhelming to imagine the amount of bouquets and cascades of flowers, needed to fill this giant flower vase that's almost 15-20 feet high. (note the 2 people walking below it for size comparison!) Every piece of collection makes one gasp in awe at the amount of no expense being spared, to bring elegance and royalty to the highest peak.
