I'm impressed with the weight of the vase & it is very stable, so that when it's full of flowers I'm sure it wont topple over!. I also love the colors & the handmade glazed finish of the water lilies on her body, & the natural clay finish on the head. And even though it is recommended to empty the vase ASAP, I am pleased that the inside is glazed to protect it & reduce the water absorption.
Overall, I really love it, & it will sit with me at my home desk to make me smile!
