I used to arrange flowers a few times a year when I was learning ikebana. I liked that the vase's subdued color scheme complemented the flowers well. I displayed it even when I wasn't arranging flowers, so I rarely stored it. There are no cracks or chips. It feels more stable than it looks. Since there is no dedicated box, I will carefully pack it in a customized cardboard box for delivery. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. #Vase #Pottery #Ikebana
