These vases are beautiful. They are handmade in Egypt. Each vase is different. You can see a lot of air bubbles captured inside. There are no two identical pieces. They are perfect to hang on a window or porch or just outside. Vases look amazing when the sunlight goes through them. You can put real flowers in them. They hold water. The vases come with the black cord attached. If you like, you can easily change it to anything else (ribbon, chain, etc.). If you are thinking to put it on a shelf or table just send us a message when you check out, so we will make sure to send you one that can sit, because not all of them are perfectly flat on the bottom. The price is for one glass vase. Size: approx. 6″ H x 5″ W x 2″ D
