This is a beautiful vase. It arrived timely and was very well packaged--no nicks or visible imperfections. It is heavier than I thought, which is a great surprise because I dont worry about it being too light and easily knocked over by my dogs tail. It is tall and looks lovely in my hallway, which is fairly wide and has tall ceilings. I put colorful fall foliage  in it so that it pops against my mocha stained hardwoods and white walls and gives flavor to the space. Overall, Im very happy with this vase and will have it for many years!
