Is this vase good for fresh flowers?

It can hold fresh stems, but the 3D flowers are the point, so simple or faux stems show it off best. Keep the water level below the appliqués and dry the textured areas carefully.

How tall is it and where does it fit?

It stands 12 inches tall, so it reads well on a mantel, console or open shelf. It is tall enough that a low side table may feel crowded.

How do I clean the raised flowers?

Dust with a soft brush or a vacuum brush attachment rather than a cloth, which snags on the petals. Wipe the smooth areas with a damp cloth and dry fully.

Does it match a modern or minimalist room?

Not really. The sculpted florals are a cottage and traditional look. For a modern room, a smooth ceramic or glass vase fits better.

Should I use a liner for real flowers?

Yes, a slim glass or plastic liner keeps water off the textured surface and makes changing water easier. Check that the opening fits the liner you choose.
