Description
Our Varga vase is a small glass fish standing on its own flared foot, with a raised eye, a curving gill line and little fins along its sides. It is made from 100% glass with a spray-coloured amber finish, and the colour deepens towards the neck, so the tone shifts as light passes from the full belly up to the rim. At 16cm tall, 15cm long and 10.5cm wide, it is a compact vase that suits a few stems rather than a full bouquet, and the opening at the top is small and round, which helps slender stems stand upright.
Its 10.5cm width lets it sit comfortably on a slim console, a narrow windowsill or a bookshelf, and it looks as good from the side as from the front. Fill it with dried flowers, grasses or seed heads for a display that lasts, or leave it empty and let the amber glass catch the daylight. It brings a little humour to a living room side table, a hallway or a kitchen shelf, and it makes a cheerful gift for someone who loves the sea, a keen angler or a friend setting up a first home.
The amber comes from a spray-coloured finish, and the maker's care advice is clear: never put it in the dishwasher, and never clean it with aggressive detergents or abrasive agents. A soft cloth and a gentle rinse by hand are the kindest way to keep it bright. It weighs 0.636KG. When you style it, set it beside a stack of books or a piece of stoneware, and add a candle nearby so the glass glows warmly in the evening; three or four dried stems at different heights look better than a tight bunch in such a small neck.

Frequently Asked
How big is the vase?
It is 16cm tall, 15cm long and 10.5cm wide, a compact size for a shelf, a windowsill or a side table, and it weighs 0.636KG.
What material is it?
It is made from 100% glass with a spray-coloured amber finish, and the colour deepens gently towards the neck of the fish.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker says it should not be cleaned in the dishwasher, and aggressive detergents and abrasive agents should be avoided, so a soft cloth and a gentle rinse by hand are best.
What kind of stems suit it?
The opening at the top is small and round, so it suits a few dried flowers, grasses or seed heads, or it can stand empty as a decorative piece.
What colour is it?
It is amber glass, and the tone deepens towards the neck, so the colour changes gently as light passes through the body of the fish.
Does it come with the flowers?
No. The vase comes on its own, and the dried flowers and other styling props shown are not included.
