I like all 3, and especially the little matching clock.

Lovely! As long as they please you and were easy to afford, that's all that matters. Saving on shipping certainly makes them even more fun! Happy Holidays!

Where are the roses?!

Just kidding, they are all very nice, and I like that they have different looks and sizes suitable for various bouquets. Having said that, I'll admit that I'm a complete sucker for anything in that blue & white color scheme, so the third one is my fave.

Thank you! I love the matching clock too, Marlorena. I’ve discovered that it’s a common Lenox pattern (Barrington, I think) and has other size and shaped vases to match. He even taped a new battery to the clock, so I can use it right away. The solid powder blue vase is much larger than I expected. It will take many roses to fill that one! I can use some fillers. Virginia, I love the Bavarian blue and white vase, too! I think what attracted me to it, is that it reminds me of Delft Blue from Holland. I’m so pleased with my treasures! Lisa

Lisa, eBay rocks! I purchased a copy of To Persia for Flowers for myself for Christmas. Perhaps eBay holiday shopping for ourselves is a good excuse for a little treat and a way of making certain our rose needs are met, yes? :-) Your vases are lovely and will be even lovelier filled with beauties from your garden! I am enchanted with the international aspect of eBay. Over the years, I have purchased Turkmen earrings from Afghanistan, a Noritake tea set from England, Birkenstocks from Thailand, a scarf from Uzbekistan, flower earrings from Germany, a sweater from Sweden, etc. I'm not familiar with Waldershof porcelain but need to research it. Like Virginia, I'm all about blue and white. Your vase is exquisite! The deep cobalt blue with pink accents is a perfect setting for a big, fragrant cluster of your pink roses. Carol

What a perfect gift, and they're all beautiful. I can see the large on filled with Mel's Heritage, the middle one with white and pink roses and the blue and white with all kinds of colors, yellow, white, purple, pink, I think everything will go well. I'm surrounded by Chinese vases of all sizes, shapes and colors, and yet 99% of the time I put my roses in water glasses or jam jars!

It is great gift. I love all 3 vases and also the clock. Your gift made me realize that I need to get a few also since I have non.

Your vases are very cute from classic, elegance and contemporary Style. Great choice :)

I saw an advertisement of Christmas Express Train.... I thought about you, Lisa.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

Somehow I missed these posts.

Cute Jin! Thank you and Merry Christmas! I love my vases. I’ve used the pink one, but it wasn’t picture worthy. I’ll try again soon.

Virginia, I have been to all of the places you mention. It’s too bad that it was on a trip when I was young and not interested in the same things as I am now. I do have Delft from Delft, and have enjoyed plenty of Gouda. I still do. My family comes with suitcases full of Gouda cheese when they visit. My dad and son prefer the aged Gouda, I like the young, soft kind, and my daughter and sister love the kind with caraway seeds in it. Next weekend my daughter and I will be making the traditional Dutch New Years treat, “Ollie Bollen” They are like apple fritters but round with raisins and chopped apples and then rolled in powdered sugar. Yummy!! Lisa
