Akelei Blue Small Vase

The removable lid on this glass vase significantly increases its versatility beyond traditional floral arrangements. You can display it as a standalone sculptural piece or use it as a decorative canister to hold natural elements like seashells, polished stones, or colored sand. This design flexibility allows you to easily update the contents to reflect seasonal decor changes in your living room, foyer, or office.

This piece features a clean, simple silhouette and a laid-back vibe that makes it a perfect fit for Transitional, Coastal, or Modern interiors. The translucent blue finish provides a sophisticated pop of color that adds depth to a room without overwhelming the existing palette, making it a versatile choice for styling everything from a professional office to a relaxed bedroom.

While the translucent blue finish creates a beautiful play of light, we recommend cautious placement in areas with intense, direct sunlight. Clear or tinted glass vessels can occasionally act as a lens, focusing sunbeams on nearby surfaces. For sun-drenched spaces, ensure the vase is placed on a heat-resistant surface or positioned where the light is filtered to maintain safety and protect your furniture finishes.

To maintain the clear aesthetic of this high-quality glass, we recommend hand washing with lukewarm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. It is best to avoid the dishwasher, as the high heat and harsh chemical detergents can cause "etching," a permanent cloudiness that dulls the glass. For the interior, a soft microfiber cloth will help keep the blue tint vibrant and streak-free.

This vase is designed with a 7-inch wide base and a height of 14 inches, providing a balanced center of gravity suitable for consoles and entryway tables. For added security in homes with active pets or small children, our experts suggest applying a small amount of clear museum wax to the base. This provides extra stability and helps prevent the piece from tipping if accidentally bumped.

This collection is ideal for creating tiered, professional-looking displays. Pairing the 14-inch small vase with the 18-inch large version creates an elegant "high-low" visual dynamic. Since the Akelei series is available in Blue, Gray, and Amber, you can curate a monochromatic arrangement for a modern look or mix colors to coordinate with different accents throughout your home.
