FAQs
Is the blue color permanent?
Yes, the blue color is integral to the glass, achieved during the manufacturing process. It will not fade or chip under normal use and care.
Can I put this vase in a dishwasher?
No, it is strongly recommended to hand wash the vase. Dishwashers can cause damage, cloudiness, or breakage due to harsh detergents and high temperatures.
What is the typical size of this vase?
While specific dimensions can vary slightly due to the handmade nature, this vase is designed to be a versatile size for most floral arrangements. Please refer to the product's specific dimensions if available.
Is the vase suitable for tall or heavy flowers?
The vase is designed for general use with a variety of floral arrangements. For very tall or heavy stems, ensure they are balanced within the vase and that the vase is placed on a stable surface.
How should I store the vase if I'm not using it?
Ensure the vase is clean and completely dry before storing. It's best to wrap it in a soft cloth or bubble wrap and store it in a safe place where it won't be knocked over.
What does 'lead-free crystal' mean for the user?
Lead-free crystal means the glass is made without lead oxide, making it safer and environmentally friendlier. It still offers the brilliance, clarity, and resonance typically associated with fine crystal.
Troubleshooting
Cloudiness or water spots on the glass
Clean the vase with warm water and a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn spots, a mixture of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by a thorough rinse and drying.
Slight imperfections in the glass
As each vase is handmade, minor variations are characteristic of the artisan process and should be considered part of its unique charm, not a defect.
Vase feels unstable
Ensure the vase is placed on a flat, level surface. Check that the base of the vase is clean and dry to maximize grip on the surface.
