Alaro Handblown Glass Vase – Smoke

The Alaro is a rounded, bottle-shaped vase with a wide belly that tapers to a slim, gently flared neck. Handblown from glass in a soft smoke tone, it carries the small irregularities and faint texture that come with the making process, so each piece looks a little different. We like how the clear body catches and passes light around a room.

Standing 220mm tall and 210mm across, it holds its own on a shelf, sideboard or windowsill without crowding the space. The narrow opening suits a few dried stems, a single sculptural branch or a loose handful of fresh flowers. Left empty, the shape reads as a quiet decorative object in its own right, which makes it easy to style all year round.

The smoke glass keeps things understated and pairs well with natural woods, ceramics and neutral textiles. Try it as a solo piece or group it with vases of differing heights for a considered grouping on a mantelpiece or dining table.

Is each vase identical?

No. As the glass is handblown, small variations in shape, texture and tone are natural and make each vase individual.

How should I clean it?

Wash by hand with warm water and a little mild detergent, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers so the surface stays clear.

Can I use it with fresh flowers and water?

Yes, it holds water and suits fresh stems. The narrow neck works best with a small bunch or a single stem.

Is it dishwasher safe?

We recommend hand washing only to protect the handblown finish and avoid thermal stress on the glass.

What size stems suit the opening?

The slim neck holds a few stems in place, so it works well with delicate flowers, grasses or dried branches rather than large dense bouquets.
