Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. Because of the intricate, hand-formed folds in the glass, it is best suited as a decorative tabletop object rather than a vessel for fresh flowers that require water.
Each vase is individually hand-formed, meaning there will be subtle variations in the folds and shape. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of Steuben's craftsmanship and ensure that no two pieces are identical.
To preserve the polished finish, hand wash the glass using a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh detergents can damage the crystal.
The vase is designed for indoor tabletop use where it can catch the light. Its clear crystal construction is particularly effective when placed near a window or under direct lighting, which allows the glass to refract light beautifully through its handkerchief-style folds.
The Little Handkerchief Vase was originally designed by the Steuben Design Team in 1991. It remains a classic example of American glass artistry, maintaining the brand's legacy of high-quality, hand-formed design.
