Description
Our red glass vase is shaped like a pair of full, pouting lips, with a soft cupid's bow on the top lip and a gently curved line where the two lips meet. The glass has a high gloss that catches the light across every curve, so the red looks rich and lively from wherever you stand. It measures 15.5cm tall, 22.5cm across and 9.5cm deep, with a short collar neck at the top to take your flowers. Because the lips form the whole body, it reads as a playful piece of sculpture even with nothing in it.
At only 9.5cm deep, it sits happily on a narrow shelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the corner of a dressing table, where a rounder vase would crowd the space. The 15.5cm height suits a small posy, a few short roses or a single stem trimmed to size, and standing empty it adds a pop of colour among books and candles. We like it in a bright bedroom, a hallway, a living room shelf or a home office desk that could do with a smile. It makes a cheerful gift too, for anyone who loves a little humour and plenty of colour around the home.
The vase is made of glass with a smooth, glossy surface, and it rests on the curve of its lower lip, ready to sit on a level shelf or table. To keep the shine, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it with a soft dry cloth, and use a bottle brush to reach inside the neck when you change the stems. As with any glass piece, set it down gently on hard surfaces. For a playful look, fill it with deep red or blush pink blooms that echo its colour, or let it stand alone beside a stack of books as a cheeky talking point.
