I've been looking at this vase for months and months. When I finally decided to go for it, it was sold out.  I checked back last week and it was available again, so I jumped on it!  (its sold out again)  It came about a week sooner than promised.  It really is very beautiful and makes a nice statement on my dining room table, due to its size.  As others have said, it doesn't quite have the bubbled glass look in person, but its still very pretty.  Many said it was more grey, but mine is definitely a smoky blue.  Its heavy and sturdy.  Very happy with my purchase.
