antique vase
Vintage decorative container
An antique vase is a decorative vessel, typically ceramic or glass, old enough to be valued for its age and craftsmanship rather than practical use.
The phrase often evokes something fragile and precious: Be careful around Grandma's antique vase.
What qualifies as antique varies—generally at least a century old, though the term is used loosely for anything that looks old and valuable.
