I purchased five of these to display in our living room apartment above the sofa. That wall has been bare for a couple of months now (since we just recently moved), waiting to find the perfect piece of art to display. Everyone knows, what you display in your living room can either complete the look or ruin it. And I have to say, these teardrop vases were the absolute perfect choice. My boyfriend was skeptical at first...but once I had them put up with a simple & elegant floral stem, he fell in love with it as I had. It's such a modern twist to hanging up a traditional painting or canvas art (which was what we planned on purchasing before I found this). They're such a good size too...not too small or too big and it absolutely completed the contempory feel that our living room already had. Also, it really opens up the room and makes our living room look even taller since I chose I long stem flower to display. Compliments just come pouring from every guest that has stopped by...and of course, that always brings a smile to your face. As you can tell....I LOVE these vases and am SOOO glad I bought them. I love them so much, I'm trying to figure out where else I can put them =) Trust me, you really won't regret this purchase. It's an absolute must have and don't miss out on it. FYI: These are fragile, so you have to handle with care (all five of mine were fine, but I handled them really carefully to not break any). Also, they're a bit difficult to clean since the opening is small....it's okay for me since I'm using silk flowers and not real ones that need water (I really didn't want to be bothered with having to change out the water often); but you can swish soapy water around and rinse and then blow dry them dry so they don't have water stains...that worked for me. Hope this review helps and that you'll purchase some yourself. =D
