These tortoise - shaped vases are perfect for adding a touch of charm to your home. You can use them to hold fresh flowers, artificial flowers, or even as a standalone decorative piece. When using them for flowers, make sure to add some water regularly if you're using fresh ones. As for maintenance, always remember to hand wash them only. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as they may scratch the glass. Keep them in a safe place away from sharp objects and high - traffic areas to prevent accidental breakage.
