Know before you buy
The iridescent finish is reactive, meaning it shifts slightly depending on the light source. In direct sunlight, it will catch the light and create subtle, rainbow-like reflections, while in lower light, it maintains a warm, amber glow.
Yes, the hand-blown glass is substantial and durable. It is well-weighted at the base, making it stable enough to hold standard bouquets or heavier seasonal branches without tipping.
Absolutely. The apothecary shape works beautifully as a hurricane for a pillar candle. Just ensure the candle size allows for adequate airflow and that you monitor it as you would any glass vessel.
To preserve the iridescent quality, hand wash the vase gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher, as these can dull or scratch the delicate finish over time.
Because each piece is hand-blown by artisans, slight variations in shape, size, and the distribution of the iridescent finish are expected. These small differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your vase is truly one-of-a-kind.
