Description
This is a tall glass vase with a two-tier shape: a narrow neck rises straight from a wider, rounded body, and rows of small dots run down both sections from the rim to the base. It is mouthblown, which means it was shaped by a glassblower's breath rather than pressed in a mould, and the surface has a deep, glossy shine. At 35cm tall and 17cm across, it is a generous size for a blue vase: tall enough to give long stems real presence, yet slim enough for a narrow shelf or sill.
Its height suits a console table in a hallway, a sideboard, a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill, where it can be seen across the room. The narrow neck gathers a few long stems neatly, so a handful of dried grasses, seed heads or branches of berries will stand upright without looking crowded, and it works just as well for fresh flowers. The dots keep it lively even when empty, so it can sit alone on a shelf between flower seasons. Blue looks at home beside warm wood, green plants and earthy ceramics, which makes it an easy choice for a living room, a dining room or a quiet spot in a bedroom.
The vase is made entirely of glass and weighs 1.68KG, worth keeping in mind when you carry it full of water. Mouthblown glass always varies a little from piece to piece, so slight differences in outline and in the spacing of the dots are part of its character rather than flaws. The smooth, glossy surface keeps the blue rich and lets light catch the curve of the shoulder. For styling, let the shape lead: one or two tall dried stems, or a single leafy branch, show off the two-tier outline better than a full bouquet, and a pale wall or a wooden surface behind it brings the blue forward.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made of?
It is made of 100% glass and is mouthblown, so it was shaped by a glassblower rather than pressed in a mould.
How big is the vase?
It stands 35cm tall and measures 17cm across, a size that suits a console table, sideboard, mantelpiece or deep windowsill.
How heavy is it?
The vase weighs 1.68KG on its own, so allow for the extra weight of water once it is filled for fresh flowers.
Can I use it for fresh flowers as well as dried stems?
Yes. As a glass vase it holds water for fresh flowers, and its narrow neck also keeps a few dried grasses or branches standing upright.
Is every vase identical?
Not quite. Mouthblown glass varies a little from piece to piece, so the outline and the spacing of the dots can differ slightly between vases.
