Delicate heavy etched vase

How can this vase be delicate and heavy at the same time? Well babe, just like you this vase comes off as something to tread lightly around so as to not break it, but its solid enough to break something if you arent careful. 7" tall and 4" wide.

The Brass Collection is from an Estate of a long time watch maker in Asheville, NC

Brass pieces have been hand polished to designers choice of "vintage". This means that there will be any of the following on the pieces- patina, swirling, signs of age, heavy patina, or high shine. If there are signs of heavy flaws in the piece this will be noted. Most brass is up to 60 years old and the wear and tear is apart of the life it has lived before you.
