A new and improved light weight plastic vase, includes a two part light weight plastic construction. The respective halves of the vase construction each comprise a flower container and have a base portion having a base width and a top portion having a wider width mouth. The top and bottom portions are integrally connected to one another at their tops and bottoms respectively and integrally connected to a common wall member. The common wall member of each half includes grooves and tongues which are spaced apart from one another about a centrally disposed pole receiving recess. The grooves, tongues and recess each extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the common wall. In an exemplary embodiment, the tongues and grooves of the respective halves of the vase construction slidably engage one another to help secure the vase to a table umbrella pole which in turn supports the vase in an upright manner without the risk of the vase being overturned accidentally. In an alternative embodiment, the vase is secured about a table umbrella pole by locking tabs which engage their respective notches, and splines which are maintained within grooves substantially along the length of the vase.
