Vases (Category ID 602)
The Vases category, identified by ID 602, is a specific classification within the Home & Garden > Decor hierarchy. This category is intended for standalone vessels designed primarily to hold flowers or serve as decorative accent pieces for tabletops and shelving.
Products that belong in this category include a wide range of vessels used for floral arrangements or ornamental displays. Examples from the US market include various tabletop ceramic vases, bud vases for single stems, irregular stoneware pieces, and decorative glass vases. Whether the material is brass, glass, or ceramic, if the item is primarily a vessel meant for display or floral support, it belongs here.
Items that do not belong here should be directed to more specific categories. For example, Decorative Bowls or Decorative Trays should be used for vessels that are not primarily for flowers. Vase Fillers & Table Scatters belong to their own designated category. Artificial Flora or Dried Flowers should be classified in their respective categories even if they are sold alongside vases. Do not place items like decorative bottles that function as standalone objects rather than floral holders in this category; instead, use Decorative Jars or other relevant home decor sections.
There are no subcategories available for this category; it is the most specific level provided by Google. When configuring your Google Merchant Center feed, you may use either the ID 602 or the full path string: Home & Garden > Decor > Vases. While this attribute is optional, providing the correct classification helps Google categorize your items accurately, which is essential because specific categories may trigger different attribute requirements for your product data.
