A lovely vessel for fresh-cut flowers, this crystal vase also makes a spectacular centerpiece and brightens up any room in the house. Colorful glass butterflies with raised wings adorn the smooth, uncut sides, while free-form lines add the feel of summer grasses bending in the breeze. Appealing to a down-to-earth sensibility, the simple, contemporary styling provides elegance to home decor without the ostentation of more traditional cut-crystal vases. Godinger, the choice of many newlyweds, is renowned for both silver and crystal giftware and tableware. Like all fine crystal, the Butterfly vase should be carefully washed by hand, particularly the delicate wings, to avoid breakage as well as harsh detergents that might affect its clarity. --Ann Bieri

 AWFUL quality; butterflies keep popping off October 16, 2008
LawyerMom (USA)
Unfortunately, I was under the impression that most of the other reviewers were having problems getting their vases shipped to them without breaking. So, when I received my vase without any breakage, I thought, "Lucky me." Especially since it is a BEAUTIFUL vase. That is, until the butterflies started popping off. I had just washed (by hand) the vase and set it down to dry. BTW, the crystal is very fragile you have to be very careful with it; and because of the odd shape of the top and the butterflies all around the side, you cannot invert the vase to air dry upside down nor in a drying rack. You have to just let it sit on your counter and dry as it is (then dump accumulated water out once it is mostly dry).
I returned the first vase and asked Amazon to send a replacement. That was fine until my husband walked passed the vase and literally, another butterfly just popped off. Luckily they did not shatter, but landed whole on the table. On a hunch, I took a hold at all the remaining butterflies and gave each one a gentle tug. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM POPPED OFF without any effort at all (except for one butterfly which managed to hang on, but it may have come off if I tried to tug it a bit harder.) I have super-glued them back on, but they come off again.
For $40 you do not expect this kind of crap. What happened to quality control?
 Vendor needs to ship it like it is a crystal vase! September 17, 2008
Albert Whatmough (Bakersfield, CA)
I just recently bought this product for a friend wedding. It really is a very pretty vase. My issue is not with the quality of the vase itself, it is with how the vendor packaged the item. The vase came in a box with paper/packaging only around the box it was in. There was not any type of padding around the vase itself within the the items original box. I know it might sound confusing, but to make a long story short, I got the item about 1 week before the wedding, and opened it to find 2 of the butterflies had broken off and the vase was loose in its box. I don't know how the vase itself did not break. I was able to super glue the broken butterflies back together and back on the vase, but I felt bad that I had to give an item that had been broken. Like I said, the item itself is beautiful, but that doesn't really do you a whole lot of good if it is broken. They need to ship it like it is a breakable item.
Poor Quality September 1, 2008
Angelika Ivaniukovich (Seattle, WA)
The first time they shipped me the vase, it came with all the butterflies broken off. It was no problem getting a new and intact vase for free after I called their customer service. However, after about a week, the butterflies on the unbroken vase began falling off on their own. And no amount of super-glue will keep them on! As this vase was a gift for my mom's birthday, I was very disappointed. Do not buy this vase unless you are looking for an overpriced disposable vase!
