Zenta Glass Vase 32cm - Amber

Our Zenta vase is a tall, straight-sided cylinder of amber glass, 32cm tall and 13cm across, made from 100% recycled glass. What sets it apart is the surface: the whole body is covered in a raised, pitted texture, so the glass breaks up the light into countless small glints instead of a single flat shine. The amber is translucent rather than solid, which gives it a warm glow wherever daylight or lamplight reaches it. At 1.344KG it has a reassuring weight in the hand, and the generous height means it is a vase for tall stems rather than a small posy.

At this height it suits long-stemmed flowers and foliage: tulips, eucalyptus, branches of blossom or a bundle of dried grasses, and the straight sides keep stems standing upright rather than fanning wide. Set it on a dining table, a sideboard or a hallway console, or on a mantelpiece where its height balances a mirror or a picture. A windowsill is a good spot too, as the sun coming through the amber lights up that textured surface. It makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday gift for anyone who keeps fresh flowers in the house, and it looks just as considered standing empty on a shelf between books.

The vase is made entirely from recycled glass, and the pitted texture runs all the way from the rim to the base, with the rim itself slightly uneven. Towards the bottom the amber reads a shade deeper, which grounds the tall shape visually. Glass is non-porous, so it does not soak up water or stains and rinses clean between arrangements. For styling, keep the arrangement simple: a few tall stems of one kind let the colour and texture do the work, and setting it against pale walls or plain linen makes the amber look all the warmer.

What is the vase's material?

It is made from 100% recycled glass in amber, with a raised, pitted texture covering the body from the rim to the base.

How tall is the vase?

It is 32cm tall and 13cm across, and it weighs 1.344KG, so it has a solid, substantial feel on a table or shelf.

Which flowers suit it best?

Its height and straight sides suit long stems such as tulips, eucalyptus, branches of blossom or dried grasses, rather than a short, low posy.

Is the glass smooth?

No. The surface is covered all over in a raised, pitted texture and the rim is slightly uneven, which gives the glass plenty of character as it catches the light.

Is the amber glass see-through?

The amber glass is translucent, so light passes through it with a warm glow, though the textured surface softens the view of the stems and water inside.
