Purchased the Hemmingstone vase & several different Autumnal faux stems. Placed the order on Sunday and it was delivered on Tuesday. Speedy order/delivery services. I was concerned about ordering a large fragile item, the vase, but it was very well packaged and arrived intact. The vase has a classical shape & beautiful satin finish. I chose this style because it is watertight , & useful for fresh flowers too. The foliage stems are all of high quality,very sturdy & shape easily, without fear of breakage. All the stems are naturalistic, true to life in colour & texture. Very pleased with the purchase & I will probably purchase stems to make a Spring/Summer arrangement in the future⁸
