One of the vases had a foreign substance in the glaze.  All three had some sort of dirt on them that I had to rub multiple times (3) to get off.  Makes me wonder about the manufacturing process (China) and what substances are used to make these.  I honestly did not feel safe having them in my house.  I wanted to give zero starts, but it made me assign one.

Pros: great price
Cons: dirty and poorly manufactured; poor quality control
