Description
This round glass fish vase takes the shape of a plump little fish standing upright on its tail, with its open mouth forming the neck. It is made of clear glass with a pale amber tint and a shiny finish, so it catches the light from a window or a lamp and casts a soft, warm glow across a shelf. The fish's eye and the curve of its head are moulded into the glass on each side, small fins run along its edges, and the gently rippled surface gives it a lively, watery look. It stands 16.8cm tall, 10.9cm wide and 14cm deep.
That size makes it easy to place: on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bedside table or a kitchen shelf, or grouped with other glassware on a sideboard. A single branch of greenery, a few garden cuttings or a sprig of dried grasses sits neatly in the narrow mouth, and it looks just as good left empty as a small glass sculpture. The cheerful fish shape suits a coastal scheme or a bathroom shelf beside shells and pebbles, and it brings a little humour to a plain room. We think it also makes a thoughtful new home gift, something bright and useful for the first shelf in a new place.
The vase rests on a flared, footed base, so it sits steadily on a flat surface and needs no other support. The glass has a shiny finish, and looking after it is simple: rinse it after use, wipe it with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft dry cloth to keep it free of water marks. Like any glass, it is best handled with a little care and kept back from the edge of a busy shelf. For a gift, tuck a few fresh stems into its mouth before you hand it over, so it arrives ready to brighten a room.
