    Dove's Blood red is the richest of reds, very dark in tone and brilliant in clarity. 

    And dove's blood also has a rich history.  It has been used for everything from temple purification by the Greeks to healing of leporasy in Leviticus.  The most desired color of ruby is called "dove-blood red" and dove blood ink is used to write love letters, love spells and other communications involving peace and love.

    The dove's blood red vase to the left belonged to my ex-mother-in-law, a wonderful woman now deceased,  and is one of a pair.   These are two of the most beautiful objects I have ever seen.
