How it's used
Refers specifically to a container for holding flowers, often made of ceramic or glass. While it functions as a decorative item, it is rarely used metaphorically to describe someone who is just a pretty face, unlike the Mandarin term 花瓶 which carries that specific derogatory connotation.
