Well here is the blue vase. It is 6 1/2" high and 4" across. Guess it is ok as it is now in the LOML's display cabinet. Not sure about the blue myself although it doesn't look bad maybe it just not my color. It is finished with several light coats of lacquer. I am going to make one more of this size and experiment with some colors. Hopefully won't mess it up.

I like it. The scalloped edge really sets it off. What is the wood and finish that you used?

Thanks everyone. I forgot to add the wood is pecan which was just plain so decided to dye it with transtint dyes. The finish is 7 or 8 light coats of lacquer. Forgot but here is the red and blue together.
