It’s a beautiful vase and works beautifully in my space. I got one of the larger sizes.  It was obvious in the photos that the vase was made by stacking 2 smaller ones and welding them together.   I noticed it right away when I unpacked it. Then I looked closer at the online photos and saw it there. I wish it had been created as one piece. I gave it 4 stars because it is a nice piece and I’d lose money if I returned it.
