Vases For the Floor
By kateri27 onLet me first say that I got this vase for my wedding, and no I did not register for it.When I opened the box and saw a giant black sculptural vase I had absolutely no idea what the heck I was going to do with it.It's a big black giant vase that specifically states that it is for decorative use only and is not watertight.
So I now own this big black vase that can't even hold flowers.My husband and I lugged it around from home to home until it finally found it's place, in the guest bathroom.It actually looked rather stunning and modern in the corner of our remodeled restroom.I put three large artificial Calla Lillie's in it and some greens and am now rather attached to the once not so welcome eyesore.
The vase is very sturdy.It is handcrafted out of Terra cotta based on a design by Yuri Zatarain.It has a felt bottom as to not scratch the surface it is resting on.I have a dog, two cats, and a toddler and as active as they are they have never knocked this down.
I don't know if I would actually buy this vase, but it is a solid product that is happily living its life out the far, seldom seen, corners of our house.
I bet this is stunning! The black color and the lilies together ...what a classy statement! I would love to see a picture of it. Funny how you dragged it around until you found a perfect place for it .
Outstanding! This vase sounds magnificent & I know the calla lillies look beautiful in it!! Trumpet vases are so elegant-enjoy it!!
I'd say you made lemonade out of a lemon!
Wow over $100 for a vase that can't even hold flowers!? But I am glad you found a use for it.
Your vase sounds lovely. Calla Lilies are a perfect choice for your tall black vase. I'd love to see it!
Crate and Barrel always has great vases. I have several that I was given during my teaching years and have really enjoyed having them.
What an interesting wedding gift.... Glad you ended up liking it!
I'd love to see this vase, I'm glad you found a great home for it and are able to use it now.
That is pretty expensive. I'm not sure if I would ever buy one but I love gifts lol. I'm glad you could find some place to put it. I have a lot of gifts still in storage lol
Some of the best items I have started out as ones I had no idea what to do with when I first got them. One day you home and decor might change and you will find the perfect spot for the vase.
