metal vase

Copper flower holder

A metal vase is a decorative container for flowers or ornamental display, made from metal rather than the more common glass, ceramic, or porcelain.

Metal vases—typically brass, copper, silver, or pewter—often appear in formal or traditional settings: The brass vase on the mantel held dried flowers.

They're prized for durability and distinctive patina.
