Description
This is a mouth-blown glass vase in orange, 30cm tall and 14.5cm across, shaped like a classic amphora: a full, rounded body that narrows to a slim upright neck, with two loop handles placed at the shoulders. The handles and the lip are worked in a contrasting glass, so the outline reads clearly against a pale wall or window. The orange glass is dense rather than see-through, with soft streaks and clouding running through the colour, which gives the surface real depth when daylight falls across it.
At this height it sits comfortably on a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a hallway console. The narrow neck gathers a loose handful of stems and keeps them upright, so a few cuttings from the garden or a small market bunch of wildflowers look generous without needing many. Dried grasses, thistles and seed heads suit it just as well for an arrangement that lasts through the colder months. It works in a living room, a bedroom or a study, and makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift for someone who likes colour at home.
Because it is mouth-blown, each vase is shaped by hand rather than pressed in a mould, so expect slight differences in the curve, the thickness of the glass and the placing of the handles from one piece to the next; that is the mark of the method, not a fault. It weighs 1.2KG, a reassuring weight in the hand for a vase of this size. No care instructions are given with it. For styling, let the orange lead: pair it with green foliage and pale flowers, and give it room on a plain surface so the handles show in profile. The styling props shown are not included.
