They come in many guises; including simple glass, stone and ceramic forms.

Create uneven, multi-floral combos in several small vases, and then group them together to make a loose, natural statement that’s the perfect height for the dinner table.

Narrow necks: tall, slim bunches of flowers. Or add a single tall stem or dramatic monstera leaf.

Fishbowl: Single specimens like roses or daisies, and as centerpiece vessels for at-home dinner parties. Fill them with small, round, flowers, cut to hit just above the top to spill out around the opening.

Column: Long stem flowers in different varieties. Trim to size and create a loose arrangement.

Cone: Bunches of berries and bushy lilac that complement the drama of the shape; especially effective when kept to a single species and cut to a portion of 2:1, vase to flower.

Tall and narrow: Larger flowers with lots of foliage – like lilies and tulips.

Tall and jar-like: Single dramatic leaves and
budding branches.

Large flared: Bouquet arrangements of seasonal flowers and dried.

Ceramic pitcher: Bouquet arrangements with a benefit: you only see the blooms, not the stems.

Tall rounded: A single variety of tall stemmed flowers such as lilies, delphiniums, and foxgloves. Bunch several together and then let them loosen once inside the vase.
