Hi willson, I don't think it's very common. The only way I could imagine using it would be something like "You should see the flowers he sent her! " Even so, I'm not sure it's right.

  • Better would be a "A huge vase full of roses" rather than "vaseful" as a quantity of flowers.

Hi willson,

Even so, I'm not sure it's right. Better would be a "A huge vase full of roses" rather than "vaseful" as a quantity of flowers.

Could it be that you have misheard the word and that it is actually wasteful? Any online dictionary will give you definition of that word.
