Unfortunately, size comparison objects only work if everyone knows the size of that object. There is a large range of bottle cork sizes.

Always better to provide accurate dimensions.

I used a buttercup once. :)
Your cork is still better than bits of equipment (I never know whether it's a mobile phone or a tv remote - I don't use either but even I know they both come in very different sizes) or giving free advertising to tins of sugary drinks - which would still leave me clueless.  ;D

Is your vase heavy?
It's reminding me a little bit of an unknown bottle I picked up in London's Portobello Road about 12 years ago.

Earth without art is just eh.

Ah, buttercups are beautiful- our garden is not finished(not even started) so I'm guessing the buttercup and fireweed will be my flowers of choice this summer.

I'm trying to get the right size comparison tool, can never find the measuring tape.

It is quite heavy, but not so heavy as it looks. Might say it has fat instead of muscles... :) 1.167 grams to be precise.
