I say ‘ancient vase’ as there is an archaeological proof that vases have been used in even the ancient days.

Vase

There have been intricately carved vases excavated from ruins of the Mesopotamian era and other Greek and Babylonian sites. Vases have been used as decorative accessories for centuries. Vases are seen as meeting both productive and aesthetic requirements. Also, there is a very thin line divining functionality from looks as far as the vase is concerned. It makes sense to get a new vase for your living room every few years.

While looking good in the room, the vase could also be seen as an accessory that is an excellent conversational piece.
