Averie Glass Vase 28cm - Yellow

Averie is a mouth-blown glass vase in yellow, 28cm tall and 17cm across, with fine vertical ribs running from the rim down to the foot. Its outline is what you notice first: the body swells into a full, rounded top, then draws in through a long, gentle curve towards a narrower base. The yellow glass is softly translucent rather than solid, and near the foot the ribs show a thin edge of transparent glass, so light picks out every line when it stands by a window. It weighs 1.2KG, which gives it a substantial feel in the hand.

At 28cm tall it is a useful middle size: tall enough for a generous bouquet from the florist, yet low enough for a dining table where guests still want to see one another. The wide top lets stems fan out naturally while the slimmer base gathers them, so even a few long dried stems settle into an easy, open arrangement. We like it on a windowsill, where daylight comes through the ribbed glass, on a side table in the living room, or on a bedroom chest of drawers. Yellow sits happily with white walls and pale wood, and it brings a warm note to a grey or neutral room.

Its finish is mouth-blown, so each vase is shaped by a glassblower's breath rather than by machine. Mouth-blown glass always carries small differences from one piece to the next, perhaps a slight shift in the line of a rib or in the depth of the colour, and that is part of its character. The vase is 100% glass, and the ribs are part of the glass itself rather than a printed pattern. To style it, keep arrangements loose and let a few stems lean over the rounded top; a single variety suits the ribbed outline better than a crowded mixed bunch.

What is the vase made of?

It is 100% glass with a mouth-blown finish, so each piece is shaped individually and may differ slightly in its ribs and depth of colour.

How big is the Averie vase?

It stands 28cm tall and measures 17cm across, a good middle size for a full florist's bouquet or a few long dried stems.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 1.2KG, so it feels substantial in the hand and sits with a reassuring presence on a shelf or table.

Are the flowers included?

No, you receive the vase on its own; the styling props shown are not included, so the flowers and other pieces are there for inspiration only.

Is the yellow colour solid or translucent?

The yellow glass is softly translucent rather than opaque, and a thin edge of transparent glass shows along the ribs near the foot.

Where does the vase look best?

We like it on a windowsill, where daylight runs through the ribbed glass, or as the centrepiece of a dining or side table.
