Buffkin Blue 17 in. Vase

Yes, this vase is crafted from high-quality glass, which is a naturally non-porous and waterproof material. It is designed to securely hold water for fresh floral arrangements. To protect your furniture surfaces from potential condensation or "sweating" in humid climates, we recommend placing a decorative tray or coaster beneath the base, especially when placing the vase on wood or other porous materials.

To maintain the clarity of the variegated blue glass, we recommend regular cleaning with mild soap and warm water. For hard-to-reach areas or to remove hard water stains, a common expert technique is to use a mixture of white vinegar and water or a specialized glass cleaner. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the contemporary finish. Our care guidelines suggest drying the glass thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent spotting.

Stability is a key consideration for taller decorative accents. While this vase has a substantial 7-inch square footprint, its 17-inch height can make it top-heavy when filled with tall branches. To increase stability in high-traffic areas or homes with pets, we suggest adding decorative fillers like polished river stones, sea glass, or sand at the bottom. This adds weight to the base, lowering the center of gravity and making it much harder to tip over.

For a 17-inch tall vase like this one, we recommend selecting flowers with longer stems, such as lilies, gladiolus, or sunflowers. A common professional guideline is that the height of your floral arrangement should be roughly one-and-a-half to two times the height of the vase. Because this piece features a contemporary accordion design and a 7-inch width, it provides ample support for full, vertical bouquets that make a bold statement on a dining table or entryway console.

According to the product specifications, some customer assembly is required for this item. While most vases are single-piece units, this specific contemporary design may include a separate base or protective components that need to be set up. Following the included instructions will ensure the piece is properly secured and ready for display in your home or as a wedding centerpiece.

Thanks to its mesmerizing variegated blue hue and unique accordion texture, this vase is designed to serve as a standalone sculptural piece. In modern or coastal-themed homes, it can be styled empty on a bookshelf or mantel to add a pop of color. For a textured, low-maintenance look, you might also consider filling it with dried pampas grass, willow branches, or decorative fairy lights to create an ambient glow.
