Vase (rubbish), x1

This vase was in the Debenhams sale. It was a bargain, or so I thought. It looks good, anyway. The only thing they didn't tell me was... It doesn't hold water.

Yup. One non-waterproof ceramic vase. It's not got a hole in it, as far as I can tell, it's just porous, which isn't exactly useful when it comes to keeping flowers alive and not marking tabletops.

I hadn't really thought to ask, "is it waterproof?" when I was buying it.

I guess "made in China" just doesn't mean what it used to, when it comes to vases.

Er...put dried flowers in it.

The bonus being they look pretty and last AGES and you don't have to look after them.

Well maybe dust them once a year or so.

Ah, but the nice fresh flower smell is half the experience for me...

Well just buy another (waterproof) vase and put fresh flowers in that...

Simple.
