Culasi Glass Vase - Black & Clear

The Culasi is a large glass vase with a rounded body, broad, softly curved shoulders and a short, upright neck. Its colour does most of the work: the glass is clear at the top and fades gradually into a smoky black towards the base, so the darker tone sits low and grounds the vase while the upper half stays light and bright. It stands 45cm tall with a diameter of 30cm, a size that belongs on the floor, a sideboard or a wide console table rather than a narrow shelf. At 2.34KG it has a good, solid weight, which helps it feel settled wherever it stands.

The black and clear finish is monochrome, so it sits comfortably beside pale walls, grey upholstery, warm timber or colourful prints, and it works in a modern living room as readily as a more traditional hallway. The narrow neck suits a single tall branch or a few long stems: the dark lower half hides the stalks, while the clear shoulders keep the leaves in full view. Left empty, the shape and the gradient hold their own as a sculptural piece in a corner or beside a fireplace. Its height means it reads clearly from the far side of a room, and we find it a natural choice for an open-plan space or an entrance hall.

The vase is glass, and the fade from clear to black runs smoothly with no hard line between the two tones. Glass is non-porous, so it does not soak up water, and a rinse between arrangements keeps it fresh for the next bunch of flowers. This is a piece for indoors, away from frost and garden weather. Because it weighs 2.34KG before it holds any water, lift it with both hands and fill it where it is going to stay, so you only carry it empty.
