A beautiful vase transforms any space from ordinary to extraordinary, serving as both a stunning standalone piece and the perfect vessel for showcasing fresh flowers or dried arrangements. Our carefully curated collection celebrates the timeless art of decorative glass making, featuring pieces that blend contemporary design sensibilities with traditional craftsmanship techniques.
Whether you're creating a dramatic focal point for your dining table, adding character to a bare mantelpiece, or simply wanting to display seasonal blooms with style, the right vase makes all the difference. Our recycled glass designs particularly appeal to environmentally conscious homeowners who refuse to compromise on aesthetics whilst making sustainable choices for their homes.
What makes recycled glass vases special compared to new glass?
Recycled glass vases possess a unique character that new glass simply cannot replicate. The process of melting and reforming existing glass creates subtle variations in colour and texture that give each piece individual personality. Our Jebel recycled glass vase showcases these beautiful imperfections—tiny bubbles, slight colour variations, and textural differences that make every vase genuinely one-of-a-kind.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits, choosing recycled glass reduces environmental impact significantly. Each vase represents materials diverted from landfill and given new life as functional art. The energy required to process recycled glass is also considerably lower than creating new glass from raw materials, making these pieces an eco-friendly choice that doesn't sacrifice style.
How do I choose the right size vase for my flowers?
Vase selection depends largely on your intended use. For tall, dramatic stems like gladioli or large sunflowers, our 25cm height provides excellent stability and proportion. The general rule suggests vase height should be roughly one-third the total height of your arrangement, creating pleasing visual balance.
Consider the opening width too. Narrow necks work beautifully for single stems or small bouquets, whilst wider openings accommodate fuller arrangements with multiple flower types. The Jebel design offers versatility—elegant enough for special occasions yet casual enough for everyday use.
Do glass vases require special care to maintain their appearance?
Glass vases are remarkably low-maintenance, but a few simple habits keep them looking pristine. Change water every few days when displaying fresh flowers, and clean thoroughly between arrangements to prevent bacteria buildup that can cause cloudiness.
For cleaning, warm soapy water handles most situations effectively. For stubborn residue or water marks, a mixture of white vinegar and water works wonders. The recycled glass construction is just as durable as traditional glass, so normal household cleaning methods work perfectly without risking damage to these beautiful pieces.
