The flower bud vase was just amazing. It is so delicate and beautiful. I highly recommend this product and this artist. The vase is blown in such a way that it's just a bit weighted at the bottom to keep the vase in the upright position. This was a gift to Grandma and she was DELIGHTED! The flower that was included was just perfect for Grandma to instantly see how this bud vase works. In addition, the artist even hand-wrote a card to Grandma. What a sweet and thoughtful touch. I am so blown away by your amazing talent, your kindness and generosity.
