Description
The Xiporai is a tall glass vase with a mirror chrome finish and a softly ovoid body, pressed with dimples that catch and bend the light. It stands 28.5cm tall, 14.5cm long and 13.5cm wide, and narrows to a round mouth 7.5cm wide at the top. That height and opening suit a loose handful of stems, a few branches of foliage or a single bloom, rather than a heavy, tightly packed bouquet. The chrome reads as polished silver, so it reflects whatever sits nearby and brightens a plain corner without adding another colour.
We would put this chrome vase on a sideboard, a console table, a mantelpiece or a bookshelf, anywhere a little height and shine will lift a quiet surface. Its silver tone sits happily with pale woods, white walls and grey or black accents, and it suits a living room, a hallway or a dressing table equally well. Left empty, it still works as a sculptural piece, because the reflections in the dimpled glass shift as you move around the room. It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who has just moved house, since a good vase rarely goes unused.
The body is glass with a chrome finish, shaped with a pressed hollow on each side and a smaller dimple at the front, and the base sits flat on a shelf or tabletop. At 0.5KG it is light to lift, so it moves easily from room to room as your flowers change. Glass is non-porous, so it will not soak up water or stains, though it can chip or break if knocked or dropped, so a settled spot away from busy edges is wise. As a practical note, the 7.5cm opening keeps stems upright and gathered, so a few well chosen pieces look generous without a large bunch.
