Which is better for fresh flowers?

The Antonia. Its watertight hurricane glass insert is made to hold water, and the large insert is 4 inches wide by 10 inches tall. The Etsy vase lists glass but no watertight insert, so use a separate liner or stick to dried stems.

Is the Antonia worth about $154 more?

If you need a watertight insert, a specific size, and published dimensions, yes. If you want a woven accent for dried stems or empty display, the $44 Etsy vase does that job for far less.

The Antonia large is 15.25 inches wide by 13 inches tall, and its small is 10.75 by 10 inches. The Etsy vase is listed at 10.8 inches, close to the Antonia small in height but with no stated width.

Both are natural wicker and rattan, which hold up indoors but fade or dry out in direct sun and damp. The Antonia's glass insert keeps water off the weave, which should slow water damage compared with putting water directly in a wicker basket.

Can I plant in either one?

No. The Antonia has no drainage hole, and the Etsy vase lists no drainage either. Keep a potted plant in its own nursery pot inside, or use both as decorative covers.

How many sizes can I pick from?

Four with the Antonia, from the 10.75-inch small up to the 15.25-inch large. The Etsy vase comes in one 10.8-inch size.
