I have nothing good to say about this vase. It could win the ugliest vase contest. I would be more charitable if I didnt feel so taken advantage of by the manufacturer. It was not a cheap vase. Its not a pot that was thrown, it was pieced together by joining moulds. The seams are clearly evident. The colour scheme was a good idea but in real life it just looks muddy. And as I said way overpriced! I strongly recommend AGAINST buying it.
