Why not make it look more like a tank if you're going to do it. Take a note from SUCK UK triple gun vase, they know how to make the balance work!

Hah! I was going to mention the Suck UK gun vase. Regardless, this would never sell in the shop; customers would walk by and say "cool", but never purchase it because it is beyond impractical as a vase.
Cheers!

Wrong Wrong Wrong...
OK, first of this is a much higher quality product than the Suck Uk vase, although definitely within the same aesthetic "range". It's made by Limoge, which makes the joke even funnier. But make it look more like a tank? The charm is that it's a tank shape, not a tank...the guys at suck UK didn't make the gun vase black because it looked TO much like guns (they told me).
And as for never selling, I've sold quite a few in the last two months. OK, so it's not the most practical vase, but for a small bunch of flowers or a single daisy/rose etc it works fine, and I use those yellow ball-flower thingies (ok, I'm not a plant person) and they just dry and stay yellow without water.
Of the four models (white, platinum, flowers, gold), the roses outsell the others 5 to 1
Definitely HOT!
