I almost like this little oddity, it’s a great shape, perfect for showing a bunch of flowers splayed out so that the blooms are held in an arch rather than all bunched up with most of the flowers hidden behind the bunch…. at least it would be until you realise that this vase is only about four inches tall and you’d be pushed to get a couple of buds in it let alone a proper bouquet.

The decoration isn’t much to write home about either, a fairly unassuming base colour that isn’t the least bit off putting is then ruined with a splattering of brown dots which quite frankly look like the side of my car after driving through muddy puddles down a country lane. The rather odd looking blue fern like leaf that’s adorns the vase is upside down and doesn’t do a lot to enhance the look either as that again is splattered with brown dots.

The kindest thing you can say about this vase is it would have been ok if it was larger and if the artist had known when to stop. The base coat was perfect, the leaf decoration was I could live with, but the poo coloured dots are just a step too far.
