What customers say
Consumers overwhelmingly praise the Herbarium Brass Glass Dome for its sophisticated design and exceptional quality. Reviewers consistently highlight the elegant balance between the clear glass and the warm, polished brass base, noting it instantly elevates any space. The craftsmanship is a major draw; the substantial feel and beautiful finish of the brass justify the premium cost for many. This piece is frequently described as a timeless statement item perfect for displaying cherished botanicals.

Know before you buy
Yes, you can use the base as a standalone vessel for fresh stems. However, please note that the brass base is not waterproof, so it is best suited for stems that require only a small amount of water or for preserved arrangements.
To propagate, simply invert the glass dome so the opening faces upward. This creates a stable vessel for water cuttings, allowing you to monitor root growth through the clear glass.
The brass is intentionally left untreated, meaning it will develop a unique, darkened patina as it reacts to the air and environment. If you prefer a bright finish, you can occasionally polish it, but many owners enjoy the character the aging process adds.
The glass is delicate and should be handled with care. It is not dishwasher safe, so we recommend cleaning it by hand with a soft, damp cloth to avoid scratching the surface or damaging the brass components.
For a clean, minimalist aesthetic, place a single dried botanical or a delicate sprig inside the dome. The 21cm height makes it an ideal centerpiece for a side table or bookshelf where it can catch the light.
