<p>[QUOTE="Barbara W. Preston, post: 4426858, member: 13943"]Let me suggest that you use a larger round wooded stand, rather than an oblong stand, available at most oriental supply shops. Then use museum wax or earthquake wax (both available at Home Depot or other such store) to afix the vase to the stand and then use it on the bottom of the stand to afix the stand to whatever you sit it on. The wax will not hurt any surface. We use it here at the Museum. If this does not seem to make it feel balanced enough, let me suggest you put a 3in circle of felt or other cloth in the bottom of the vase and then add about an inch of sand, floral chips, marbles, or fine gravel. The cloth will just keep vase from being scared by scratches from anything you put in it to help keep the proper balance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
