What size bouquet fits this vase?

The 3.5-inch opening and 9-inch height suit a loose bunch of medium-stem flowers or a bundle of faux greenery. Very tall stems will sit shallow and may need trimming or a frog to hold them.

Can it hold water for fresh flowers?

Yes. It is a glazed ceramic vessel with a sealed interior, so it holds water for cut stems. Empty and rinse it regularly, since the wide mouth exposes a lot of water surface.

Is it stable on a table?

The rounded body is 6.5 inches across at its widest, which gives it a stable base on a flat surface. It can still tip if bumped hard once filled, so keep it away from table edges.

Does the pattern show through as texture?

Yes. The diamond lattice is embossed into the ceramic, so you can feel the raised lines under the glossy glaze. It is not a painted or printed design.

Can it be used outdoors?

It is designed for tabletop use indoors. Glazed ceramic can crack in freezing temperatures, so bring it inside for winter if you place it on a covered porch.
