What is a porcelain vase?
1 Answer
A porcelain vase is a vessel made out of vitrified pottery. Porcelain is a semi-translucent white color and has a smooth, sleek texture. Traditionally, people use porcelain vases to hold fresh, dried and silk flower arrangements, but you can also display them empty as decorative accents.
