Is the vase handmade?

Yes. Abigails says it is handmade in Italy, so expect small differences in the spiral and glaze from one piece to the next.

It measures 9 inches in diameter and 12 inches tall, a short, wide form meant for a table.

Can it hold water for fresh flowers?

It is a ceramic vase, so it can hold water, but the matte finish may show water marks. Dry the outside after filling.

Matte glazes can pick up marks from hard water and stems. Rinse and wipe it after each use to keep the surface even.

It is designed for table placement. A shelf, console or mantel works well; keep it away from edges where it could be knocked over.
