The hippopotamus is first shaped in stoneware — a clay fired at high temperature, making it waterproof and sturdy. Then colors and details are applied manually with a brush, so no two vases are exactly alike. Minor differences in color shades and brush strokes are part of the product, not a defect. ### Care and maintenance Rinse the inside of the vase with lukewarm water after use. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth — avoid abrasive cleaners or dishwashers, as they can wear down the hand-painted surface. ### Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between stoneware and porcelain for vases?+ Stoneware is fired at a higher temperature than earthenware but lower than porcelain. This makes it waterproof and strong, but heavier than porcelain. For a vase like this, stoneware provides good stability so it doesn’t tip over easily. Can the hippopotamus vase hold fresh flowers with water?+ Yes, stoneware is waterproof, so the vase can be used for fresh flowers without any issues. Change the water regularly to avoid odors. How large a bouquet fits in a 22 cm hippopotamus vase?+ The vase suits 5-10 stems depending on thickness — for example, a small bouquet of ranunculus, anemones, or a few roses. For large, heavy bouquets, choose a wider vase. Is the Quail hippopotamus vase a good gift for children’s birthdays?+ Yes, especially if the child loves animals. The vase can be used for flowers but also as a pencil holder or decoration on a shelf. Keep in mind that stoneware can break if dropped, so it’s best suited for children over 5-6 years old. Why do the colors vary on Quail animal vases?+ Because each vase is hand-painted. Quail’s ceramic artists use brushes to apply colors, so brush strokes and shades are never identical. It’s part of the craftsmanship. Questions? Do you have questions about a product, your order, or something else entirely?
