Description
Our Sima vase is a purple glass vase with a frilled, wavy rim that opens out like a ruffled collar above a softly dented body. Nothing about it is quite straight: the sides dip and swell as they rise, so the light catches the glossy surface in a different place from every angle. It stands 33cm tall and measures 20cm across, a generous size that takes a full armful of stems rather than a single bloom, and at 1.8KG it has a good, solid weight for a glass vase.
Set it on a window ledge, a sideboard, a mantelpiece or the centre of a dining table and it holds its own as decoration, with or without flowers. The height suits taller arrangements such as pine, berried branches, amaryllis or long-stemmed tulips, and the flared rim gives them room to spread. At Christmas it makes a handsome home for winter greenery and cones; in spring it works just as well with blossom. Because it looks finished even when empty, it also suits a shelf or console table in a hallway, living room or bedroom that needs a touch of colour.
The vase is made entirely of glass, and its colour comes from a powdercoat finish. Powdercoat is a coating applied as a fine powder and set with heat; here it gives the glass an opaque purple and a high gloss that picks out every ripple and dent in the shape. For styling, let the vase lead: pair it with plain linen, pale wood or painted surfaces, and keep the arrangement loose so the ruffled rim stays in view. The styling props shown are not included.

Frequently Asked
What material is the Sima vase?
It is made of 100% glass with a powdercoat finish, which gives the glass its opaque purple colour and a glossy surface.
How big is the vase?
It stands 33cm tall and measures 20cm across, a size that suits tall branches and full bunches of flowers rather than a single stem.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.8KG, a good solid weight for a glass vase of this size, so it has real heft in the hand.
Does it look good without flowers?
Yes. The ruffled, wavy rim and the softly dented body make it a decorative piece in its own right on a shelf, mantelpiece or window ledge.
Are the flowers and decorations included?
No. The vase comes on its own, and the styling props shown are not included, so you are free to fill it as you like.
