Brown Flecked Tall Glass Vase with Flared Rim 41cm - Blue

This tall glass vase pairs a clear, bright blue with brown and bronze flecks that gather and deepen towards the base, so the glass seems to catch the light differently from every angle. It stands 41cm tall and 16cm across, with a softly rounded shoulder that tapers down to a narrower foot and opens at the top into a neat flared rim. The glass has a shiny finish, and the flecks run through the body in fine trails and scattered spots, giving the blue a depth that looks good whether the vase is filled or left empty.

At this height, the vase has real presence: it is tall enough to stand beside a fireplace or on a sideboard, console table or wide windowsill without needing anything else around it. Its height and narrow neck suit long stems, so tall branches of eucalyptus, delphiniums, gladioli or a loose bunch of dried grasses all sit well in it. Left empty, it works as an ornament in its own right, its blue picking up navy cushions, teal walls or warm wood furniture in a living room, hallway or dining room. In a bright spot, the daylight coming through the glass shows the flecks at their best.

The vase is made of glass with a shiny finish, and the flared rim gives a tidy edge to whatever you arrange in it. To keep the colour bright, dust the outside with a soft dry cloth or wipe it with a damp cloth. Inside, a rinse with warm soapy water and a bottle brush is plenty, then dry it with a soft cloth to avoid water marks. Handle it as you would any glass and set it on a flat, level surface. Group it with a pair of candles in warm tones to echo the brown flecks, or wrap it as a generous gift for anyone who likes fresh flowers in the house.
