Description
This striped glass vase in orange is covered in fine stripes that run from the rim to the base, sweeping slightly as they go, so the pattern seems to shift as you move around the room. The shape is soft and rounded: full shoulders curve in to a small opening at the top, and the body narrows gently towards the foot. It stands 22.5cm tall and is 16.5cm across, a size that sits comfortably on a table or shelf without crowding it. It is made entirely of glass, and its surface has a glossy shine.
At this height it suits a desk, a windowsill, a sideboard or the middle of a dining table, and the small opening gathers a few stems so they stay upright rather than splaying. A single branch of fern, a handful of dried grasses or three or four garden flowers is all it needs; the striped glass does most of the work, so the arrangement can stay simple. Empty, it still earns its place as a spot of colour on a bookshelf or mantelpiece in a living room, hallway or study. It also makes a cheerful gift for anyone who likes a bit of colour at home.
The vase is 100% glass and weighs 1.18KG, which gives it a pleasing heft in the hand and a settled feel on a shelf. Glass is non-porous, so it does not soak up water the way unglazed clay can. For styling, pair it with plain pieces in pale wood, linen or white so the orange stripes stay the focus, or place it on a windowsill beside green plants, where the foliage brings out the warmth of the glass. One stem or several, it looks finished either way.
