Description
The Sintra vase is handblown glass with a carved surface, worked into soft horizontal ridges that catch and soften the light. The rounded, barrel-like shape has a wide mouth and a frosted, matt finish, giving each piece a tactile feel and a gentle depth of colour. Because the carving is done by hand, no two vases are exactly the same.
We offer the Sintra range in two colourways, Ink and Olive, and in two sizes: the larger at 34cm x 22cm x 34.5cm and the smaller at 25cm x 18.5cm x 24cm. Use the larger vase for tall stems and branches on a sideboard or hallway table, and the smaller one for shorter arrangements on a shelf, mantel or dining table. The muted blue and green tones sit well with both warm neutrals and darker, moodier schemes.
Each vase is made from handblown glass with a hand-carved, frosted exterior and a smooth inner wall. To care for it, wipe with a soft, damp cloth and dry gently; avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the matt surface. The wide opening makes it easy to arrange fresh or dried flowers, and to clean the interior by hand.

Frequently Asked
What colours does the Sintra vase come in?
The range comes in two colourways, Ink (a deep blue) and Olive (a muted green), both with a frosted matt finish.

Is each vase identical?
No. The glass is handblown and the ridged surface is carved by hand, so slight variations in the pattern and tone are part of each piece.

Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry gently. Clean the interior by hand and avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the matt surface.
Which size should I choose?
