Small Curved Double Gourd White Confetti Glass Vase - Yellow

This small glass vase takes a curved double gourd shape, two rounded bubbles stacked one on the other beneath a short, narrow neck. It is a bright, sunny yellow, and through the glass runs a scatter of white streaks and flecks, the confetti pattern that gives it its liveliness. When the light catches it, the paler marks shimmer against the yellow, so it looks a little different from every side. At 15cm tall, 11cm across and 11cm deep, it is a compact piece that fits easily where a larger vase would crowd the space.

Its size suits the places where a little colour goes a long way: a bedside table, a bathroom shelf, a windowsill, a desk or the middle of a small dining table. The narrow neck holds a few stems upright; we like it with a single dahlia, a sprig of mimosa or a handful of tulips, and dried grasses or seed heads suit it as well through the colder months. Left empty, the curved shape and bright colour hold their own as a decorative piece on a bookshelf or mantelpiece. Yellow sits happily beside white, grey, navy and natural wood, and brings a cheerful lift to a plain room.

The vase is made of glass with a glazed finish and rests on a low, rounded base. To keep it bright, rinse it out when you change the flowers, wipe the outside with a damp cloth and dry it with a soft cloth. Fresh water every couple of days keeps cut stems looking their best. For an easy arrangement, set it on a tray beside a candle and a small stack of books, or give it the first daffodils of spring on a sunny windowsill, where the light through the glass shows the confetti pattern at its best.
