Spectra Vases -- $ 189.00| Buy it here
Just how lovely are these glass nesting vases? Pastels sometimes can look a bit boring, but these shades are quite beautiful. To see the vases nested, go to our gift guide or to the retailer’s page.
The Spectra collection is light and fresh like a Spring breeze. The pastel shades are the same color formulas as the original glass first made at Holmegaard back in 1839. They are the true antique colors.

Stem Vase -- $ 21.00| Buy it here
This vase shows off a stem or two in a lovely understated way. Having just a few cut flowers in different spots throughout your home can make the space seem more welcoming. (No need for expensive flowers either- often showing a single stem of a rather common flower does the job just as well.)
Stem Vase is a study in simplicity for a single flower or two. Blooms look fresh and inviting whether resting on the glass edge or extending elegantly above the vase.
Both sizes together make the perfect pair.
Small: 6″ high, $21.00
Large: 12″ high, $29.50

Volcanoes (Vessels) | View it here
The artist Emogayu creates each vessel by hand, so no two are exactly alike.
Emogayu, who is originally from Japan, hand-crafted a series of vases and bowls for us called ‘Volcanoes’; Inspired by the natural energy of flowing lava and the way it captures a moment in time forever. Her hopes are that whoever owns her work will not treat them as ‘objects’ but will allow the energy of their space to flow freely through them. Volcanoes have a number of uses whether for displaying fresh cut flowers, climbing plants, holding a votive candle or for containing your small keepsakes. Each piece is truly one of a kind.
Volcano #41 (left), 6″ diameter x 3.5″h, $100.00,

A Candle Stick Vase -- $ 42.00| Buy it here
A novel idea…and well realized too I think.
“A Candle Stick Vase” combines the beauty and function of a candle stick and a vase into one. Its nostalgic look and details that resembles an old European candle stand will magically create a romantic candle light feel by placing a flower in it. Blow the petals away as if it was a real light! The tray can also be used to place your keys and coins. -mollaspace
