Description
The Dahukeng Vase is a round-bodied vase in tinted red glass, with a short flared neck and a darker rolled rim. It stands 33cm tall, measures 29cm across the widest part of the body and holds 11 litres, so there is room for a full, generous arrangement rather than a single stem. A hammered texture covers the body, a pattern of small facets that catches light from every side and keeps the red lively instead of flat. Where the glass curves away towards the base, the colour deepens to a richer berry shade.
This is a piece for indoors, and its size suits a spot where it can be seen from across the room: the centre of a dining table, a sideboard, a hallway console or one end of a mantelpiece. The wide body gives a bunch of flowers a broad base, so stems lean outwards naturally into a loose, rounded shape without much arranging. The rounded form also looks good empty, which means it keeps working as decor between bunches. The red tint sits well beside warm neutrals, dark wood and brass, and it suits anyone who wants one bold colour in a room without repainting or changing the soft furnishings.
The neck flares smoothly out from the shoulder to the darker rolled rim, which gives the mouth a firm, finished edge and a neat line from any angle. Glass is non-porous, so it does not soak up odours or stains. We like it as a single piece with room around it, where the hammered surface can catch the light from a nearby window or lamp. As a practical note, measure the shelf or table first, allowing 33cm of height plus the height of your stems, and 29cm of width at the widest point.
