Policies & Shipping Information

About Our Glass Vases:

Most of our products are handcrafted and hand-blown glass vases, unless stated as being utility or machine made.   They are originally made in metric dimensions and then converted to the nearest standard measurement to make it easier for our customers to visualize.  Due to this, there may be some slight discrepancies on the size measurements of certain pieces.  If you need exact dimensions for your specific needs, please contact our office to have one of our customer service associates get the exact dimensions for you. All the opening diameter and heights are measured from outside edge to outside edge of the glass, inside diameter or heights would vary depending on each vase. When the vases are made, we can only control the outside opening diameter or height because the blow mold can only control those parameters.  Since they are all handmade / hand-blown glass vases, if you look carefully, there might be very minute differences among them. Tiny bubbles may exist in the glass, there are a natural part of all hand-blown glass vases, they are a by product of any liquid stage of glass when they are cooled and blown, but these should be so minor that most people do not notice. 

Another very important note. We do not recommend customers to fill the larger vases with water, rock, or anything that has a lot of weight.  The pressure may cause the glassware to break/shatter which could be hazardous.

Make sure you check all your items upon arrival for damages or defects.  For specific size measurements e-mail us at sales@wgvint.com or call us at 626-931-0663 .
