Description
This pink glass vase has a figure all its own: a softly flared rim, a narrow waist and a full, rounded body that swells out before tucking in again at a small foot. Vertical ribs run from rim to base and divide the body into gentle lobes, and the glass has a faint ripple, so light catches differently across each panel. It stands 18cm across and 20cm tall, a compact table vase rather than a floor piece, and at 1KG it feels reassuringly solid in the hand. The pink is light and see-through, so the stems and the water stay on view.
At 20cm tall it suits a short, generous bunch rather than long-stemmed lilies: garden roses, a few protea heads, sweet peas or fern fronds left to trail over the rim. The narrow waist gathers stems together, which helps a small bunch stand upright, while the wide body leaves plenty of room for water. Set it on a side table beside an armchair, on a dining table low enough for conversation across it, on a bedside table, a windowsill or a mantelpiece. Empty, it is a piece of coloured glass for a sunny shelf, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes fresh flowers in the house.
It is made wholly of glass, and glass does not absorb water, so a rinse and a fresh fill every couple of days keep it looking its best. The ribs and the gentle ripple in the surface make each side look a little different, and the pink looks deepest around the foot. Pink glass sits happily with brass, warm wood and deep green, so try it on a hammered metal side table or a weathered wooden stool with a single protea or a spray of fern. The styling props shown are not included.
