Description
This small ribbed glass vase has a shape that catches the eye before a single stem goes in: a rounded, ribbed bulb at the top, a pinched waist, and a straight ribbed body below that sits squarely on a shelf. It is made of clear glass, so light runs down every rib and the stems and water inside become part of the display. At the very top, a small wavy rim opens just wide enough for a few stems. It stands 16cm tall and measures 10cm across and 10cm deep, a size that suits a windowsill, a bedside table or a narrow shelf where a larger vase would crowd the space.
We like it for a few garden cuttings, a single rose, a sprig of eucalyptus or a handful of sweet peas, where the small opening holds the stems upright without any arranging. On a kitchen windowsill it brings a fresh note to the morning, and on a dressing table or a desk it adds a small spot of green where there is little room to spare. It sits just as happily in a hallway or a bathroom as in the sitting room. It also makes a thoughtful new home gift, easy to wrap and ready to fill with the first flowers from a new garden.
The vase is clear glass throughout, with fine vertical ribs running down the body and around the rounded top, so it has texture even when it stands empty. To keep it bright, change the water every few days, rinse it by hand in warm soapy water and dry it with a soft cloth. Trim the stems at an angle before they go in and they will drink more easily. For a gift, tuck a few stems from your own garden inside and tie a ribbon around the waist.
