So one thing I've realized about the photos on Wayfair is that anything made from glass has been lighted and possibly filtered to make it more vibrant. IRL this vase looks like the top part is made from textured stone. It's rough and sort of white. Now if you look inside (second picture), it's smooth and bright. I kind of wish it looked like that on the outside! I'm going to keep it, but I'm not 100% happy with it.
