Description
This tall glass fish vase stands upright on its tail, its body formed as a single fish with a round eye, a curved gill line and wavy fins running down each side. The top opens at the fish's mouth, a small notched rim that suits a few stems rather than a crowded bunch. It is made from clear glass with a shiny finish, so it picks up the light from a window or a lamp and shows the water and stems inside. It stands 26.7cm tall, 8.1cm across and 9.3cm deep, a slim footprint that fits a narrow shelf or a windowsill without crowding it.
Because it is tall and slim, the vase works well wherever you want height in a small space: a mantelpiece, the end of a kitchen table, a hallway console or a bedside. A few stems of eucalyptus, a single tulip or some dried grasses sit naturally in the narrow neck, and the playful fish shape gives a bunch of supermarket flowers a bit of character. Empty, it holds its own as a glass ornament on a bookshelf. We think it makes a cheerful gift for someone moving house, a little piece of personality for a first kitchen or living room that they can fill with whatever they like.
The fins, eye and gill line are raised from the body, so you can feel the fish as well as see it. The flared tail forms a base that sits flat on a table or shelf. To keep the glass clear, wash it by hand in warm soapy water, rinse it and dry it with a soft cloth; a bottle brush helps reach inside the narrow neck. Change the water every few days to keep stems fresh and the glass bright. For a simple gift, wrap it with a small bunch of flowers ready to go straight in.
