New Vases

Glass, metal, resin or ceramic: a vase's material determines how much of the stems you see. Our new arrivals range from small table vases to pieces over thirty centimeters tall, along with metal cachepots for plants you keep in their pots.

Material before shape

Glass reveals the water and the stems, so it calls for a clean bouquet with little foliage right at the neck. Metal encloses the volume and brings the silhouette to the fore, while resin and ceramic offer a matte surface that absorbs light. Within a single room, mix materials but stick to one family of tones.

The neck opening

A narrow neck holds one to three stems upright, effortlessly. A wide neck calls for a full bouquet, otherwise the stems splay apart and the arrangement slumps. Look at the opening before the height: it decides the number of stems, and therefore the final look.

Vase or cachepot

A vase holds cut stems, while a cachepot dresses up a nursery pot that you keep as is. Choose a cachepot slightly wider than the original pot so you can slip it in without forcing. The plant stays in its container, which makes watering and seasonal changes easier.

Frequently asked questions

What vase height for a long stem?

Aim for a vase that is one third to one half of the total height, stem included. A fifty-centimeter stem therefore balances in a piece of about twenty centimeters.

How do I care for a metal vase?

A soft, dry cloth is enough for everyday care. Avoid abrasive powders and rough sponges, which scratch matte finishes and dull shiny surfaces.

Why do two vases of the same height have different names?

Because the name refers to the design, not the size. Two thirty-four-centimeter pieces can have very different necks, curves and finishes.
