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.

I ask you what is the point of a saucer to go under the bowl to catch excess water when its not water proof!?

Well, indeed. That is, in fact, something even more pointless than a non-watertight vase, which takes some beating. Mind you, at least yours actually _had_ the "not waterproof" label on it. If I hadn't noticed the small pool of water around the bottom of the vase the day after, it could've done some serious damage to my new chest of drawers. Grr.
