Description
This clear glass school milk bottle vase is modelled on the vintage school milk bottle, with rounded shoulders, a short neck and lettering embossed into the glass. It stands 13cm tall and 5.5cm across, and its neck is about 3cm across, just right for a few slender stems or a single bloom. The Wild Flowers name comes from the round illustrated tag tied at the neck with twine, bright with a poppy, a cornflower, a wild rose and other meadow flowers, while the glass itself stays plain and clear so the flowers you choose do all the talking.
Holding about 200ml of water, it is a natural fit for a kitchen windowsill, a bedside table, a desk or the middle of a dining table. A sprig of lavender, a few sweet peas, a stem of rosemary or a handful of daisies from the garden all look at home in it, and because it is small it never crowds a busy shelf or a narrow sill. The simple, old-fashioned shape sits as comfortably in a cottage kitchen as it does in a modern flat, and it brings a little of the garden indoors whatever the season.
Made from glass and weighing just under 200g, it is light and easy to move from room to room, and it stands on a flat base. Wash it by hand only, as it is not dishwasher safe: warm soapy water and a slim bottle brush will reach right to the bottom, and fresh water every couple of days helps cut flowers last. Filled with a few stems from the garden and handed over with the tag still tied at the neck, it makes a charming small present, or keep it by the sink for whatever is in flower.
