Vintage Vases Aren't Just a Phase

Vintage Glass Vases

 

The charm of vintage glass vases

Vintage or second-hand glass vases are versatile, affordable and full of character. Their shapes and textures bring interest and can elevate a tablescape instantly. For example, a collection of bud vases turned into a centerpiece is a popular DIY. Pillar Box Blue

How to use them for entertaining & décor:

• Mix sizes and textures: Combine tall slender vases, squat bud vases, milk glass, coloured glass. Variety = visual interest.

• Single stems or simple florals: A single stem of bloom in each vase gives a light, airy feel. Or cluster a few in the centre of a table for understated elegance.

• Alternative uses: They can hold candles, fairy lights, or seasonal greenery. One blog shows how larger glass vessels became cloches for display. House Digest

• Placement ideas:

  • On the up-cycled small table (from section 1) as a highlight.

  • As part of your dining table centre: line several small vintage vases along the table runner.

  • At the buffet, bar area or sideboard for extra styling.

Design tip:

Keep the colour palette consistent with your linens and table furnishings. For example, clear and white glass pairs well with natural tones; coloured glass works beautifully when matched with accent colours in napkins or floral arrangements.
