Each vase features a beautifully ruffled rim, forming an elegant, flower-like silhouette above a slender trumpet-shaped body. The rich cranberry-pink glass gradually descends into a clear glass stem, accented with rounded knops and resting on a circular foot.

The striking contrast between the vibrant cranberry colouring and the transparent glass creates a delicate yet visually distinctive appearance. Subtle variations in the glass and individually formed ruffled edges reflect the traditional hand-blown manufacturing process.

The undersides retain snapped-off pontil marks, further illustrating their handmade construction.

Originally intended as decorative spill holders or slender flower vases, these elegant pieces are particularly appealing as a matching pair. Their forms and vibrant colouring make them wonderful accents for a mantelpiece, console table, antique cabinet or thoughtfully layered interior.
