Chreees Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hass is bringing me back this nice vase he found in Beirut. He'll be coming back to the States end of May and will ship it to me. First off, I'd like to give HUGE thanks to Hass for doing this for me. I think the vase is quite nice. Looks like gold coloring and clear. But here's my problem- what shank should I put it on?! I think it'd go great on either. If it goes on the OG Tri, I'll be selling the KM clear custom vase most likely, or may hang on to it as a backup, not sure. If it goes on the Nawras, the 10" Egermann boho will be sold. Since I do not have the vase yet, I cannot try it on both and take pics. But once I do get it, I will do that. Right now I'm just looking to get opinions. So what do you guys think about the vase and also what shank it should go on? Again, thanks Hass!!!

Zildjian Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 og tri imo. the copper tones would play well with the base colors. the shape lends to it as well. i think the syrian would end up looking like the tip of a pencil on it. starts wide and gets more and more pointy... og tri for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassouni Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I say Syrian only cos I like that Nawras a lot more. By the way I'm back beginning of May For what it's worth by the way, over here, they only use REALLY tall stems with those glasses, such that the total height is around 40" or so By the way, it's clear, but with a very subtle blue tint, not just uncolored clear like your stripped and decalled KM. Also what looks gold is sort of irridescent, in that it changes slightly based on light and the angle ALSO, (third edit here), the opening is pretty narrow, so definitely do not use an Egyptian style base grommet, I think a Mya style silicone one would be best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainUM Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 i hate you, chris. i am so jealous og tri, for sure, though. i think the boho on the syrian looks great also, the og has a longer down-pipe and i feel like you'd have to fill it up a good amount already for the og tri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well, popular vote seems to be OG Tri, haha. I can't wait to see the color of it in person, Hass. I bet it looks amazing. Hell, it looks great already in the pic! Anyone have a spare thin grommet laying around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzbizz Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I think it should go on the syrian to keep the sleek look. That vase is fucking beautiful though!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahir Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Nice Vase! My vote is the OG as well And yes, those vases do typically have a slightly narrower opening than the Egyptian vases. May have to either sand down your current grommet or pick up a thinner silicone grommet like Hass said. Can't wait to see this paired up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chreees Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'll take off the gasket I have on my Nawras and post a pic of it. See if someone can't point me in the right direction as to where to get another one. It's a lot sturdier than the Mya ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chreees Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 Gah, even though the Nawras has minority vote by an extreme pretty much, I'm still very much undecided. Think I may have a solution to this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
