"Have you ever had a floral delivery from your favorite person? Did you ever notice they come in a very attractive vase? They come in all kind of shapes and sizes and they're everywhere. Every time you go to a garage sale, how many of these do you see? They have them marked a dollar or two. These fill up a lot of garbage dumps. You see these at thrift stores everywhere. Do never buy these vases? Do you think this is rare, leaded cut glass? No way. This is an FTD job. Also, remember the smiley faces? Vintage smiley face stuff is really cool but this is not vintage. This usually says something like florist on the bottom of FTD or made in China. Don't do it. Avoid vases that flowers came in. Kiss them good-bye."
