Love this set! I wasn't exactly sure what I was going to display in them, but they literally can be used for anything! The quality of these is outstanding and you can tell by just holding them that they are extremely well made. The earthy shades of metal look even more vibrant in different lighting situations. The are not waterproof, but I just used a ziplock baggie and put water in it to use it for a vase for some of my summer flowers! These would make a great gift too!
