Let me tell you, I absolutely love this vase. I was worried because of the other review, but it is perfect.

THIS DID NOT LOOK LIKE the picture it is very bumpy through out the middle cylinder part is not smooth at all. I don’t know if what I am typing makes sense hopefully photo shows it. Shame because otherwise I think it is a very cool piece such as something from L*lu G*gia ect or your local hippie artist. ( In the midst of a reno excuse the mess in my photos) Its completely matte like it never made it to the kiln after being painted which is fine to me just another fyi. I am keeping it because it wasn’t crazy expensive and don’t want to deal with the return I doubt it would make it back unscathed it’s very fragile impressed it made it here okay.
