Zenta Glass Vase 32cm - Clear

Zenta is a tall vase in clear recycled glass, a straight-sided cylinder 13cm across and 32cm tall. What sets it apart is the surface: the outside is covered from base to rim in small raised beads and dimples of glass, so it reads as textured rather than glassy, and light catches on every bump. The rim has a gently irregular edge that sits well with that pebbled finish. At 1.786KG it is a weighty glass vase for its size, the kind you feel the moment you lift it.

At 32cm tall it is a vase for long stems: tulips, eucalyptus, branches of blossom or dried grasses that want height and support along their length. At 13cm across it takes a generous bunch without crowding, and the straight sides keep stems standing upright rather than splaying. Set it on a dining table, a sideboard, a hallway console or a deep windowsill, where daylight passing through the textured glass shows the surface at its best. The bubbled glass blurs the stems a little, so a loose, garden-gathered bunch looks relaxed rather than untidy. It suits anyone who likes a plain shape with an interesting surface, and it holds its own empty on a shelf as a sculptural piece.

The vase is made from 100% recycled glass, with the textured finish running over the whole outer surface. Glass does not absorb water or odours, which makes it a practical material for fresh flowers that need their water changed every few days. Its weight also works in its favour: a heavier vase is harder to tip with top-heavy branches. For styling, let the texture lead: one variety in a single colour, or a few bare branches, looks better here than a busy mixed bunch, and smooth ceramics or matt wood alongside make the surface stand out more.
