Know before you buy
No, this piece is designed specifically for indoor use. It is best suited for tabletop displays in climate-controlled environments.
Because each hurricane is individually mouth-blown by artisans, you may notice subtle variations in the glass, such as tiny bubbles or slight differences in thickness. These characteristics are hallmarks of the traditional glassblowing process and ensure that your piece is unique.
With an 8-inch diameter, this hurricane comfortably accommodates a standard pillar candle. We recommend choosing a candle that leaves at least an inch of space between the flame and the glass to prevent the glass from overheating.
To maintain the clarity of the glass, hand wash the hurricane with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher, as the heat and pressure can damage the glass over time.
Yes, the hurricane is watertight and functions beautifully as a centerpiece vase. Its 96-ounce capacity provides ample space for a lush floral arrangement.
