On a standard console it stands well above eye level for someone seated. Measure the space, including anything hanging above it, before choosing this over the 16-inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I put water and fresh flowers in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. We would use a glass or plastic liner inside if the flowers are staying more than a day or two — standing water against a plated surface will mark it eventually. Dried stems and silk flowers need no liner at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it tip with a heavy arrangement?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlikely. The 21-inch weighs 2,170 g empty and the weight sits in the foot. Fill it in place rather than carrying it full.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 16-inch the same shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the same trumpet form, scalloped rim and engraving, scaled down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this German silver?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot literally, and we would rather say so plainly. German silver — also sold as nickel silver — is a copper, nickel and zinc alloy that contains no silver in it at all. This piece is brass, nickel-plated and then oxidised so the darkening settles into the recesses of the engraving. A lot of this category gets sold as German silver regardless of what is actually underneath, so it is worth knowing which you are buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the opening wide enough for a big bunch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e9 inches across, so yes. It is designed for a full arrangement rather than a few stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. Do not put it in the dishwasher and do not use abrasive scourers or acidic cleaners — they will cut through the plating. Between uses, store it in a sealed plastic bag; that slows tarnishing more than anything else you can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it tarnish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSilver plating darkens over time, and the antique finish is designed to sit in the recesses and deepen the pattern as it does. That is the intended look. If you want it brighter, a light buff with a dry cloth on the raised areas will lift it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I order several for an event?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — get in touch before you order if you need more than a few. We can usually help on price for larger quantities and confirm stock before you commit to a date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery order is insured.
