Listings show several shapes, most commonly round (bulbous) shapes, cylindrical vases, and novelty or sculptural forms.
Weights vary widely across listings, ranging from about 1.45 pounds up to 13.05 pounds. Examples listed include 1.45 lb, 1.7 lb, 2.1 lb, 2.8 lb, 2.95 lb, 4.05 lb, 4.98 lb, and 13.05 lb.
Several listings list "Water Permeability: Untested" or "Unrated," which means the product details do not provide a tested water-holding rating for those items.
They are frequently promoted for housewarmings, weddings and bridal showers, anniversaries, and birthdays; some listings also mention Mother's Day and Christmas.
All listings use glass for the vases; some multi-piece sets include supporting holders such as metal stands or a wooden holder mentioned in the set title.
