The spherical vase is beautiful and was delivered very well padded, so they had no scratches. The glass is air pocket free and clear, in the good Leonardo-quality, but unfortunately it is really very thin. The glass vase is simply my jump with careful cleaning after just three weeks. Possibly my decoration which I had previously had removed (pebbles and shells in water) caused excessive stress on the glass that it is ripped so quickly, but so easy it should in a quality product of Leonardo not happen actually. Buyer Kugelvase this one should be aware of what exactly you want to use it. From heavier Dekoteilen, such as stones, I would not suggest, as they may damage too easily the thin glass.
