Bold blue wings frame a clear glass body, creating a striking interplay of color, transparency, and light in this stunning vase. Its expressive silhouette makes an impression with flowers or simply displayed on its own.
Weighing nearly eight pounds, this substantial Czech art glass vase brings depth and character to a console, mantel, or carefully curated shelf. Its blue accents pair beautifully with warm wood, polished metal, and understated interiors.
