Do you ever wonder if it’s you, and not Sparky? Are we, as a group of commenters, just not getting the point? Just in case, I thought I would verify some information from this ad first.
Vase:
noun
1.
a vessel, as of glass, porcelain, earthenware, or metal, usually higher than it is wide, used chiefly to hold cut flowers or for decoration.
I even checked some visuals. Like this.
Vases can be found in many different shapes and sizes.
A niche is rather shallow, so something really wide would stick out and you would be running into it all the time.
Here’s what Sparky thinks is a vase:
large white vase – $25 (n. location)
Vase would be great for a wedding or a niche in your hallway.
Thanks, NinjaChow, for Monday Morning Confusion.
I’ve been studying this thing now for a few minutes, and I wouldn’t know what to call it either. A chiwawa, maybe….an armwar?…..definitely not a “not.a.lion”….maybe after the coffee gives my eyes back I will see it better….

It’s obviously a fossilized vase from the jurASSic era…

I know exactly what that is. It’s a potential murder weapon. You know, if right after the wedding, the groom is caught messing around with a bride’s maid or the bride is caught messing around with he best man.

I think you’ve got it OMV. I’ve been trying to figure it out but I think murder weapon is the answer.

It represents a deconstruction of traditional notions of “putting” flowers into a “vase.” That, and man’s inhumanity to man.

Plus man’s inhumanity to flowers by expecting them to willingly accept being “put” into a “vase”…..

Sorry, Sparky, my hallway has neither a wedding nor a niche, so I am going to have to pass on buying this . . . thing.

Gee, I hate to Corey/Matt so early in the morning (that’s a lie, it’s not that early), but I’m not seeing the suck here. It might have helped had Sparky altered the photo angle to show the opening in the top, but I’ve seen a lot less vasey-looking vases than that.

Sorry, Ducky, but all those vases have visible openings and reservoirs where the water would sit.This one, not so much.

I dunno. I think I gotta go with Devil Daffy on this one. That could be a vase. Or a Lacawates Valtrus-Suka.
I say we take off and nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. Hammy, you still got that Orbiting Cave of Technological Wonders lying around?

Oh, look! I ended up in my own box. No idea how that is even possible. Luckily, on Mondays the corner has fresh coffee slices.

All I know is I wouldn’t want to run into whatever made that footprint on a dark night. Or a light night. Or ever.

I agree with Ducky that this may be a vase, possibly a bud vase with a small opening. As a wedding present, you would add a flower and a note that says “This bud’s for you.”
