This vase is very good quality and sturdy. It does not feel as if it might break without careful handling. It was easy to clean after use. The colours are bright and clear and particularly cheerful if they catch the sunlight. I bought this vase specifically for the Easter celebrations and filled it with a combination of yellow Alstromeria (these look like small lillies) and yellow roses. The display lasted 3 weeks.The vase will also make a lovely piece to display on its own.
