This vase come with a flat matte finish. Gives it the necessary style. Right now i am looking  for a little pampas’s grass to put in it. i want it to look just like advertised. I have placed it with two of there shorter vases. it’s hard to find uniquely shaped vases this height. And what doesn’t go with black i have expresso cabinets. Thanks Wayfair for a wonderful selection and a safely packaged product. Arrived in perfect condition.
