The Vase That Ensures A Neat & Tidy Flower Arrangement (Even When Changing The Water)

Fresh flowers have brought comfort, joy, and a sense of life to homes for as long as we can remember. Humans have long looked to the delicate beauty, fragrance, and even medicinal qualities of flowers — likely since the dawn of humanity — to address everything from physical illness to keeping your home smelling fresh. Perhaps we've always known, on some level, that flowers help heal us, not to mention the enchantment they bring to our homes.

The tradition of gifting fresh flowers also dates back to ancient civilizations. It comes as no surprise, then, that the emergence of the decorative vase corresponds to the same time, which makes it easy to infer that as long as there have been flowers and vases, there have been challenges with flowers in vases. Beyond even the styling questions, like how to choose the right vase to compliment your flowers and how to style decorative vessels in your home, there are logistic considerations–namely, keeping the vase and the water clean. This Prism Glass Multicolored Vase from Home by Keira solves both problems with inspired functionality, consisting of a glass column vase with a delicate glass funnel or flute-shaped piece that sits inside the top, holding the heads of your flowers.

As tempting as it may be to simply leave your flower arrangements in the vase, adding water as necessary until they begin to wilt and die, the reality of that scenario is that you are probably shortening the life of the beautiful buds, bringing such joy to your home. Simply changing the water every few days and trimming back the stems each time you do can give your stunning bouquet — and your container — a longer life. 

A well-considered and stylish vase

The Prism Glass Multicolored Vase's ingenious design helps you do just that. When it's time to change the water, trim the stems, or maybe even clean the vase, simply lift off the funnel-shaped top with the flowers still inside. Then, when the vase and stems are ready, set the funnel back into place. Crafted to be lightweight, the thin, multicolored glass has an almost smoky appearance, and the slight reflective quality makes the colors appear to change with the light. Its somewhat modern aesthetic may feel out of place in some designs, however. And that delicate glass means it's not as sturdy as other options, like the weighty Amaranth Vase.

Additionally, standing at just under 9 ½ inches tall would support taller arrangements — though it won't be robust enough for very large bouquets. It is, however, ideally proportioned to compliment its sister piece, the Pettite Pink Vase, which features a slightly smaller column. Both options make proper floral care a tidy affair and protect the design of your arrangement. Especially if you've used floral arrangement implements like foam, tape, or wire to create your design, you don't have to remove them to change the water. What's more, as one reviewer noted, the pieces are so artful that they are just as appealing empty, making the vases ideal for repurposing as decorative items when they aren't in use.
