Description
The Clonony is a faceted glass vase shaped like a rough-cut stone, with broad flat planes meeting at crisp angles and a slanted opening at the top. The glass has a frosted, matt surface in a soft sage green, so light passes through it gently instead of glinting. It stands 18cm tall, 16cm long and 11.5cm wide, with an opening 8cm across, and it holds 1.7 litres. At 1.07KG it has a reassuring weight, so it feels solid rather than delicate in the hand.
This is a vase for indoor spaces, and its compact size means it fits where a taller vase would not: a dining table, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a hallway console or a bedside table. The 8cm opening gathers a loose handful of stems, such as tulips, ranunculus or a few sprigs of eucalyptus, and holds them upright so the arrangement looks full without much fuss. It earns its place empty too, because the faceted shape catches the light differently on every plane and reads as a small sculpture on a sideboard or windowsill. The muted green sits comfortably beside oak, walnut, linen, stone and white walls, which makes it an easy present for someone whose taste you know only roughly.
The vase is made entirely of glass, with the frosted finish carried across each facet of the body. Glass is non-porous, so it does not hold on to stains or odours, and a gentle clean keeps the surface looking fresh. The frosted glass also softens the look of stems and leaves inside it, so cut ends are less on show than in a clear vase. When the vase is full, lift it with both hands, since the glass alone weighs 1.07KG and the stems add a little more.
