I love this vase.  The blues a bright, clear and varied.  It went perfectly with the blue lamp shades I have on by crystal lamps.  The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it has a few visible flaws that include small air bubbles in the glass. They were not so bad that I wanted to send it back, but they are there.  If you want something that is flawless, this may not be for you.
