Absolutely stunning! Vase looks exactly as pictured. The soft gold looks amazing with any color scheme. It has a unique and fancy looking hammered surface, and feels like a fairly solid ceramic. I was nervous to spend so much on such a small vase but when you see how pretty it is you will not mind so much because it’s not cheap looking at all. Pay attention to dimensions, its quite small (I bought the 8.75x4.25) but still a very nice accent piece nonetheless!
