Annhelene Glass Vase 24cm - Multi

This glass vase is made of five rounded tiers stacked one upon another, each a separate band of colour, so the piece as a whole reads as multicoloured rather than one single shade. The widest tier sits a little below the middle. From there the shape draws in to a narrow ring at the top and a small foot at the base, giving it a soft, rippled outline from every side. It is 100% glass, 24cm tall and 21cm across at its widest point, and at 1.2KG it is a substantial piece of glass rather than a delicate one.

At 24cm tall this is a mid-height vase. It is tall enough for a few branches or one large leaf, yet low enough for a dining table, where guests still want to see each other across the flowers. The opening at the top is narrower than the body, so it suits a handful of stems or dried grasses more than a full bouquet. It looks as good empty, which makes it a natural choice for a sideboard, a console table in the hallway, a mantelpiece or a bookcase shelf, where it can stand by itself as a sculptural piece. It suits anyone who enjoys colour at home and wants one object to bring life to a calm, pale room.

The vase is 100% glass with a spray coloured finish, which gives each tier its own band of colour and the glossy surface you see from every angle. It is not dishwasher safe, so clean it by hand, and avoid aggressive detergents and abrasive agents, as the maker's care note says. For styling, give it room and keep its neighbours simple, such as a plain lamp or a short stack of books, so the tiers do the talking. Alternatively, group it with two or three smaller vases of varied heights for a relaxed cluster on a side table.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 1.2KG, which makes it a substantial piece of glass for its 24cm height rather than a light, delicate vase.

Yes. Its stacked, rounded tiers and glossy multicoloured finish make it a sculptural piece in its own right, on a shelf, console table or mantelpiece.
