I was disappointed when these arrived mainly because of the color.  My vases were not a pretty bright gold as pictured, but had more of a very shiny brassy tone to them.  They looked very artificial and cheap in my opinion.  I do love the shape and size...they are bigger than I expected and would make a nice statement on a mantle or open shelf.  The price was reasonable and I really don't want to hassle with returning, so I have decided to keep them and spray paint them a nicer color.

Pros: great size and shape
Cons: shiny, brassy color
