Know before you buy
Free-blown glass is shaped by hand without the use of molds, meaning each vase has subtle, individual variations in its silhouette. This process ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, giving your vase a unique character.
Because the vase is crafted from high-quality crystal, it is translucent rather than opaque. When placed in direct sunlight, the red and amber hues will cast vibrant, warm reflections across your tabletop.
Yes, weighing 6.5 lbs, the vase is quite substantial and stable. Its weight makes it an excellent choice for holding larger, heavier stems or branches without the risk of tipping.
To preserve the clarity and finish of the crystal, hand wash the vase with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the surface.
This piece is designed specifically for indoor use. Exposure to extreme temperature fluctuations or direct outdoor elements may compromise the integrity of the handcrafted crystal over time.
