To use this vase, you can simply place it on a table and fill it with your favorite flowers. You can also use it to hold decorative items like small candles or seashells. Since it's hand - blown glass, be careful when handling it to avoid any accidental drops. To clean, use a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. If you're transporting it, wrap it well in bubble wrap or soft padding to prevent damage.
