- Is the Sanya Metal Vase watertight for fresh flowers?
- It is a metal vase with a matte finish, so it can hold water, but the paper maché-style surface is best kept dry. Use a glass or plastic liner for fresh stems and keep the outside wiped dry.
- How big is the large size?
- The large version is sized as a floor or console statement piece rather than a shelf vase. Check the listed height and diameter against your space before buying, since the sculptural shape takes up more room than a slim cylinder.
- Will it dent or scratch?
- The metal body can dent if knocked hard and the matte white finish can scuff. Place it away from walkways and wipe with a soft dry cloth rather than abrasives.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- It is best kept indoors. Moisture and sun can dull the matte finish and the metal may show wear on a porch or patio.
- How does it compare with a ceramic vase?
- It is lighter to dent than to shatter, so it survives knocks that would crack ceramic, but it is heavier to move and can dent instead. The finish looks more hand-made than glazed ceramic.
- What can I put in it?
- Dried branches, pampas grass and tall stems suit it best. For fresh flowers, use a liner so water does not sit against the metal finish.
