Vase Fit & Stability
The integrated pot is the main reason this set works as a living-room object. It does not need a separate vase, and the wider base held steady on a console table; the tradeoff is that the 42 cm height needs generous shelf clearance.
Where to Buy Check
Last price check: 2026-07-06. Buy from a seller with clear replacement-part support and avoid inflated marketplace listings above the mid-$70s. The higher price only makes sense if you want the included pot and larger display scale.
