What are floor vases and when does one speak about floor vases? When a vase is robust enough and about 40cm high, then we can definitely speak of a floorvase. During the 60s and 70s floorvases were placed in a hall of corridor as a eye-catcher. The beautifull colors and the amazing glaces are not reflected in the nowedays vases. This is partly because the "toxic"paints and glaze techniques are prohibited.
