Marquis By WaterfordSparkle Vase, 9"

I've always wanted a nice crystal vase. But, I didn't want to spend $100 on a vase. I wanted a vase to hold an arrangement of blue & white silk hydrangea in my family room. I bought higher end silk flowers because I wanted a natural look. I have a round mahogany drum table. The top has a leather center w/ about a 2" wide mahogony rim around that leather. I put it in a corner that has a window on each side. The sun hits this vase from one window in the morning & the other window in the afternoon. Sparkle is the perfect name for this vase. The light hits the cuts and bounces off, creating little prisms of light on my walls. The detail in the vase conceals the stems quite well. Unless you go up close, you can't tell that the arrangement is not made of of real hydrangea. I really wanted a bit taller vase. But, with a price of $39.99, I decided to give this a try and I love it. It is hold 2 large blue hydrangea with about 10 blooms each & 4 smaller white hydrangea with about 5 blooms each. The arrangement sits at the perfect height in this vase. I wouldn't recommend this vase for long stemmed roses. But, you could pick up a 15 - 20 stem floral arrangement & it would look amazing in this vase. You might be able to fit more than 20 stems depending on how thick the stems are. I have perennial gardens & am looking forward to using this vase for my homegrown flowers. This vase has a nice weight to it. I don't worry about my curtains blowing with a breese & knocking this off the table. This vase is sturdy. I will not be putting this away in my hutch. This will be used year round. It washes up beautifully in hot, soapy water. I used a homemade window cleaner that has water, vinegar, & a bit of baking soda in it. It's very mild & gave the vase a nice shine. I really like that this vase has a more modern look to it. I didn't want anything that looked overly ornate. This vase is pretty neutral and will go with any decor. It comes well packed in an attractive grey box making it a ready to go gift. That grey box was packed inside a shipping box w/ lots of shipping peanuts to protect it. The seller did an excellent job of packing this to ensure that it arrived unbroken. I'm never disappointed when I purchase Waterford or Marquis by Waterford.

It may not be to Steuben glass, but this is very nice. It is very heavy for the size and very clear..

One word BEAUTIFUL!!!

This is a show stopper! Excellent gift!

I grew up in a house where there had to be fresh flowers in every room all the time. My mother would fill gorgeous crystal vases with flowers cut from the garden or ordered from the florist nearly every day. Of course she had amazing vases in all shapes and sizes, most were Lalique. I grew up admiring her flowers and vase collection.When I moved out immediately I knew I needed vases, and I certainly do not have the budget for Lalique. I ordered this one hoping for the best, and was MORE than happy. It is beautiful, large, heavy, and looks expensive. My mother would be proud, and I love looking at it filled with beautiful spring flowers!You can't beat it for price or quality. Get a few if you need gifts!

I gifted this vase to my mother for her birthday. The vase is so pretty and was larger than I expected. The box was destroyed but that could be because Amazon decided to pack it with a case of heavy drinks. I presented it full of flowers and didn’t need the box anyway.

Heavy, great quality

I received a smaller Marquis by Waterford vase from a dear friend last Christmas and was amazed at the quality!!!! This line from Waterford is lead free so it does not have the prismatic qualities of true lead crystal. BUT, it is just as HEAVY, THICK, AND FINELY CUT!!!!! I ordered this vase for a wedding present and I know my friend will LOVE it. I was amazed at the heavy weight and thickness of the crystal. The beautiful Waterford cuttings in the glass are flawless. The vase is even etched on the base with the Waterford logo by Marquis. Only a true Waterford connoisseur could spot the difference!!! A truly remarkable price for what you receive!!!!
