Using this bud vase is easy. First, fill it with water and place your favorite buds or small flowers inside. You can put it on a table, shelf, or any place you want to add a touch of beauty. When it comes to maintenance, always remember to hand wash it gently with mild soap and then let it air dry. Avoid using abrasive materials as they might scratch the delicate porcelain surface. If there are any stubborn stains, soak it in warm soapy water for a short time before cleaning. Also, be careful when moving it to prevent any accidental drops which could break it.
