When I received my vase the top had been broken off and glued back on. The line is not only obvious, it is the focal point of the dark ( not lime) green vase that will now sit in the back of a closet until I throw it out.

Looks Great. Have to put something heavy in it so that it will not tip over.

I am so pleased to own this vase which I use continuously. It looks great with a variety of floral arrangements and is a focal point of interest in my living room. I was easily able to locate a glass insert so that this vase becomes even more versatile for dried or fresh flowers. It can also be a stand alone piece as the design of the vase is interesting in its own right. The choice of colors are wonderful and I selected the orange which is vibrant. Furthermore, since it is bamboo, it is lightwieight but sturdy and environmentally sound, so it becomes the perfect vase on many levels. I have been so delighted with it that I sent it as a gift to my friend who was ecstatic.
