Know before you buy
While the vase is designed to hold fresh flowers, it is not waterproof. We recommend using a glass liner or a floral tube inside if you intend to display live arrangements with water.
Because the vase is hand-painted and not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could damage the painted brush strokes.
No. Each piece is mouth-blown and hand-painted by artisans in Sweden, meaning there will be slight variations in the brush strokes and glass finish. This makes every vase a unique work of art.
The Open Minds Vase is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight, fluctuating temperatures, and outdoor elements may compromise the integrity of the hand-painted finish and the glass.
Standing at 9.83 inches tall and 6.8 inches wide, this vase is well-proportioned for a dining table or console. Its geometric shape provides a modern silhouette that is substantial enough to stand alone as a centerpiece.
