These vases were thrown on the potter's wheel & fired in an electric kiln. The glaze finish is a nice waxy matte glaze that is called Pete's weathered green. It reminds of a copper patina. The elegant shape of the vase with the modern image doesn't even need a flower, it IS the flower. Simple & understated. The shorter vase is 5 high x 7 wide The taller vase measures about 7.5 high x 4.5 wide Green Ceramic Vases
