It's colorful but a bit bulky & thick; however, there is a printed sticker on the bottom of the vase stating the vase exposes us to chemicals including lead and lead compounds known to cause cancer, as required by CA P65.  I'm returning it if indeed they will take it back.  There is nothing on this website that tells you its properties can cause cancer and further, it is made in China and as they are working against the U.S., I do not want to support their economy.
