Brown and Cream Handcrafted Blown Glass Vase – Two Size Options Available

The Story

Rich brown glass meets an organic cream pattern in a vase designed to bring just as much visual interest as the flowers it holds. The tapered silhouette keeps the shape clean, while the variation through the lower half gives each vase depth, texture, and its own individual character.

Available in two sizes, this vase can hold anything from a gathered tabletop arrangement to taller, more substantial stems. Choose one size for the scale of your arrangement, or display both together for a layered pairing.

Vessel Function

The tapered body supports full arrangements while the narrower opening helps gather and position stems without requiring an excessive number of flowers.

How to Style It

Small Vase: Use the small vase for a full, lower arrangement on a dining table, coffee table, or console. Its wider base works well with rounded flowers and softly cascading stems.

Large Vase: Choose the large vase for taller branches, long-stemmed flowers, and arrangements that need more vertical presence. Its added height helps balance longer stems without hiding too much of their shape.

Stem Direction: Allow some flowers or foliage to extend beyond the sides of the vase. The tapered silhouette looks especially good with a little asymmetry and movement.

Color Approach: Pair the warm brown glass with burgundy, mauve, cream, soft pink, or amber-toned florals. Deep greenery and near-black stems create stronger contrast.

Quick Styling Formula: Brown and Cream Blown Glass Vase + burgundy florals + mauve roses + cream accent flowers + trailing amaranthus = a richly layered arrangement with warmth, contrast, and movement.

Where It Works Best

• Entryway consoles

• Kitchen islands

• Dining tables

• Living-room sideboards

• Coffee tables

• Office reception areas

• Covered decorative displays

Mel’s Styling Take

The color variation is what makes this vase useful. The deep brown gives an arrangement some weight, while the cream pattern near the base keeps it from feeling too dark. I would use the large for long branches or a generous mixed arrangement and the small for a fuller, lower design with flowers spilling slightly over the rim.

Displayed together, I would leave one vase empty and arrange the other. That keeps the pairing from looking too matched while still showing the relationship between the two sizes.

Pairs Well With

• Real Touch Brown Orchid Stem – 31 Inch

• True Bloom Real Touch Dark Plum Ranunculus Stem

• Burgundy Real Touch Dahlia Stem – 29 Inch

• Mauve True Bloom Real Touch Tulip Stem – 25 Inch

• Black Faux Amaranthus Stem – 37 Inch

• Cream roses, warm greenery, and branching stems

Good to Know

• Each size is sold individually through the size dropdown.

• Floral stems and arrangements shown in the styled images are not included.

• Because this vase is handcrafted, variations in coloring, pattern placement, shape, and finish are expected.

• Small bubbles, tonal shifts, and slight irregularities are natural characteristics of handcrafted glass.

• Both sizes have the same listed width and depth; the difference is in height.

• The vendor does not specify whether the vase is watertight. We recommend it primarily for faux or dried floral arrangements unless water resistance is tested first.

• Place felt pads beneath the vase when styling it on delicate furniture.

• Hand-washing and dishwasher use are not recommended unless confirmed by the manufacturer.

Climate & Care Considerations

For indoor decorative use. Place the vase on a stable, level surface and handle it with both hands. Avoid sudden temperature changes, abrasive cleaners, and prolonged direct sunlight. Dust with a soft cloth or wipe gently with a lightly dampened cloth, then dry immediately. Do not allow moisture to remain beneath the vase.

Care & Maintenance

You chose stems that last. Here’s how to make sure they do.

Faux florals are low maintenance, but not no maintenance. A little intentional care goes a long way toward keeping your stems looking the way they did the day they arrived.

Think of this page as your go-to resource. Bookmark it, come back to it, and use it whenever your arrangements need a refresh.

Every stem is chosen with intention — so it works in your home, not just in a vase.

First Things First: Know Your Stems

Not all faux florals are cared for the same way. True Bloom Floral carries three tiers, each with slightly different needs.

True Bloom stems
Our highest tier. Premium real touch stems with detailed surface coatings. Handle gently and keep completely dry.

Real Touch stems
Soft, natural-feeling stems. Clean gently using dry methods or a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Standard faux stems (including filler)
More forgiving. Can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution when needed.

When in doubt, less is more. Gentle care works for every tier.

Everyday Care: The Four Habits That Matter

1. Dust regularly
Dust dulls color and texture over time. A quick dust every 1–2 weeks keeps stems looking fresh.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight
Bright rooms are fine, but prolonged direct sun will fade colors over time, especially deeper tones.

3. Avoid heat and humidity
Keep stems away from fireplaces, radiators, kitchens, and bathrooms. Heat and moisture can damage materials.

4. Reshape as needed
Real touch stems are flexible. Gently reshape petals or bend wired stems to create natural movement.

Cleaning Your Stems

True Bloom & Real Touch Stems

These require the most careful approach.

What works:

• Soft brush (makeup brush, paintbrush, microfiber cloth)
• Hair dryer on cool, low setting (held at least 12 inches away)
• Gentle shake outdoors
• Lightly damp cloth (Real Touch only, for spot cleaning)

What to avoid:

• Submerging in water
• Harsh cleaners or sprays
• Heat or warm air

Standard Faux & Filler Stems

More flexible and easier to clean.

What works:

• All dry cleaning methods above
• Damp cloth or gentle wipe
• Mild soap solution with cool water
• Salt or cornstarch method (shake in a bag to remove dust)

What to avoid:

• Soaking stems
• Aggressive scrubbing

Reflexing Your Stems

Reflexing is a professional floral technique that opens petals outward to create a fuller, more natural look.

Why reflex?

Stems are packed tightly for shipping. Reflexing opens them up, adds dimension, and transforms the overall look.

Best stems for reflexing:

• Roses
• Peonies
• Tulips
• Gladiolus

How to reflex:

• Work slowly with your fingertips
• Gently bend outer petals backward
• Warm petals slightly between your hands if needed
• Never force anything

A reflexed stem instantly looks more elevated and intentional.

Highly Pigmented Stems

Deep tones like reds, burgundies, and jewel shades may transfer color if pressed against light surfaces for extended periods.

This is normal for richly pigmented materials.

To prevent issues:

• Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics or surfaces
• Wipe surfaces promptly if transfer occurs
• Give stems space when arranging

Storing Your Stems

How you store your stems matters just as much as how you display them.

• Store upright when possible
• Wrap loosely in tissue paper
• Use a supportive storage box
• Keep in a cool, dry, dark space
• Avoid overpacking

Giving stems space helps preserve their shape and structure.

A Note on Vases

Faux florals don’t create water stains or bacteria, but vase care still matters.

• Dust interiors regularly
• Wipe glass vases to remove smudges
• Use filler (stones or foam) to stabilize arrangements
• If adding water for aesthetics, keep real touch stems above the waterline

How Long Will My Stems Last?

With proper care, True Bloom and Real Touch stems typically last five years or more.

The three biggest factors that shorten their lifespan:

• Direct sunlight
• Dust buildup
• Poor storage

Avoid those, and your arrangements will stay beautiful for years.
