Know before you buy
The crackled effect is achieved through a traditional glassmaking technique where the hot, mouth-blown glass is dipped into ice-cold water. This thermal shock creates the intricate, sculptural fissures across the surface.
Yes, the vase is fully functional for fresh floral arrangements. Its bud-style shape provides a stable base for stems, though its sculptural design makes it equally striking as a standalone decorative object.
Due to the delicate nature of the crackled surface, we recommend hand washing the vase with mild soap and warm water. You can also maintain its clarity by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, lint-free cloth.
While the vase looks beautiful in any setting, it is specifically designed to catch and refract daylight. Placing it near a window or in a well-lit area will highlight the depth and interplay of light within the textured glass.
Because each piece is mouth-blown and handmade in Kosta, Sweden, there will be subtle variations in the crackle pattern. These unique characteristics are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your vase is one-of-a-kind.
Standing at 14.6 inches tall and nearly 10 inches wide, this is a substantial piece. It is designed for tabletop use and provides a solid, sculptural presence that is well-suited for a dining table centerpiece or a sturdy display shelf.
