Know before you buy
No, the vase is not waterproof. While it is designed to hold fresh flowers, we recommend using a liner or ensuring the vase is placed on a protected surface to prevent moisture damage.
To maintain the clarity and finish of the crystal, hand wash the vase gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using a dishwasher and be careful to steer clear of rapid temperature changes, which can cause the glass to crack.
The Lyre Vase stands 7.75 inches tall with a diameter of 5 inches. The opening at the top also measures 5 inches, providing ample space for a small to medium-sized floral arrangement.
The Lyre Vase is a piece of hand-worked crystal, crafted in the USA. Because each piece is handmade, you can expect the high level of quality and light refraction characteristic of Steuben's traditional craftsmanship.
This vase is designed specifically for indoor use. Its polished crystal finish and delicate form are best suited for a controlled tabletop environment rather than outdoor exposure.
