We love this vase and have bought for wedding gift a number of times . We really prefer to order this item as we said and hope the happy couple will have it and use it for years to come . The vase is beautiful with sleek lines and zero flaws . It ships and arrives quite quick , packed perfect and never damaged . We have a wedding in October and the bride is of Irish decent , we hope she and her partner will love this vase and use it multiple times for special events . Perfect , handsome product ..... shipped and received in perfect condition . Thank you Kilkenny !
