I needed vases for DIY centerpieces. I researched prices and these vases were the best buy. They came packaged very well - none were broken - and a simple sticker on the bottom easily came off by pulling and then with a little warm water and dish soap. These vases are very narrow - so beware of what types of flowers, etc. you are putting in them. I was able to put 4 different items in (berries, eucalyptus, and 2 simple greens) - but not more than 2 stems of each. Check out a store like Michael's Crafts to see what these are like in person if you're not sure. I also bought square mirrors to place the vases on - that added to the overall presentation nicely.
