Very attractive vase. Looks even better in real life than on line. We weren't sure whether the vase would have sufficient "presence" but it does and is quite substantial. We also wondered about the size of the opening at the top of the vase as we planned to place some silk flowers and decorative branches in it. FYI. it is a 4 inch opening so lots of room. The shipping was fast and well packed. In all, we are very pleased with our purchase.
