Pour melted candle wax in it and swirl vase so wax coats entire inside.
Reply:You could try a Polyeurethane spray.





I'm assuming however that anything you use, especially on the exterior might damage or weaken the piece and/or any design on it.





Certainly for the interior the wax and plastic liner are valid suggestions. I guess I'd have to wonder why not just use it as a decorative piece with quality silk flowers?
Reply:Line the inside of the vase with plastic.
Reply:Dumbass, paper mache is not waterproof. Use artificial flowers. BTW, it's THERE not their.
