isn't it usually mubuy that is recommended for the things you ask?

Silva's a little slow, so I will answer for her:

I don't know. Maybe you could look on the internet.

try IKEA. Apparently you can also get a good meal there too.

where else but the beautiful vase shop

The most beautiful yet expensive vases I've seen in China was at Guomao....at one of the twin tower buildings on the basement floor. Not sure of the name, but they had a lot of nice one's..My friends mom collected many expensive vases, but I'm not sure where they bought there's from. 

I saw huge displays of vases on sidewalks, small to 5' vases. I didn't look at any price. I decorate minimal and I hate clutter.

Keep your eye open during Chinese New years, they often have sellers stop by with tons.
