Know before you buy
The Opalino technique involves adding specific minerals to the glass mixture to create an opaque, milky appearance. This results in a soft, satin-like finish that diffuses light beautifully while maintaining a rich, saturated color.
No, this vase is not waterproof and is intended primarily for decorative use or dried floral arrangements. We recommend using it as a standalone art object or for silk flowers to protect the integrity of the glass.
Because the glass is delicate and handmade, it should be hand-washed only. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild soap if necessary, and avoid putting it in the dishwasher, which can damage the polished finish.
Each piece is individually blown in Murano, so slight variations in color intensity or shape are expected and part of the item's unique character. You are receiving a one-of-a-kind piece of art rather than a mass-produced replica.
The Medium size (14 inches tall) is generally the most versatile for a dining table, providing a significant visual presence without obstructing conversation. If you have a larger table or want a more dramatic statement, the Large size is an excellent choice.
