Wingly II Blue Vase

The tree trunk-inspired design adds essential "visual weight" and texture to your room. In interior design, mixing materials and textures is vital for a curated look; the organic, ridged texture of this glass provides a sophisticated counterpoint to smooth surfaces like marble countertops or polished wood tables, while the gold-finished birds add a touch of artisan craftsmanship.

With a height of 15.5 inches and a rich navy blue finish, this vase serves as a significant focal point. It is ideally scaled for entryway consoles, fireplace mantels, or as a centerpiece on a dining table. Its "classic" yet "eclectic" styling allows it to bridge the gap between organic textures (inspired by its tree-trunk design) and luxurious glam (highlighted by the gold bird accents), making it a versatile piece for both coastal-themed and modern-glam homes.

To preserve the luster of the navy finish and the intricate gold bird detailing, we recommend hand-washing only. For the interior, a simple mixture of warm, soapy water is usually sufficient. If the narrow shape makes it difficult to reach the bottom, a professional trick is to use a small amount of uncooked rice or copper cleaning beads swirled gently with soapy water to lift any residue without scratching the glass.

Given its 15.5-inch height and glass construction, stability is key in households with pets or children. To lower the center of gravity, you can add decorative river stones or polished glass beads to the bottom. For added security on a shelf or mantel, we recommend using a small amount of "museum wax" or clear adhesive putty on the base to prevent the vase from tipping if the furniture is bumped.

While clear glass spheres can sometimes act as a magnifying glass for sunlight, the deep navy blue finish of this vase is largely opaque, significantly reducing that risk. However, to ensure the longevity of the gold accents and prevent any potential "solarization" or finish fading over years of intense UV exposure—especially in sun-drenched regions like Florida or Texas—placing it in a spot with indirect light is the best practice for preservation.

For a vase of this height, you should look for stems that are approximately 25 to 30 inches long to maintain a balanced 2:3 proportion. Long-stemmed flowers like lilies, delphiniums, or even simple decorative branches work beautifully to complement the verticality of the tree-trunk design. The deep blue color also provides a stunning high-contrast backdrop for white hydrangeas or vibrant yellow sunflowers.
