Folk and Flora

This little gem is a true one off. I discovered Sun Sprinkles online a little while ago and fell in love with her bold playful style but especially her folk designs and so commissioned this vase especially for the autumn collection. To truly celebrate the beauty of this vase I wanted to experiment with some different shape and style flowers to bring out the beautiful design of the vase and am so pleased with how it’s turned out. If you want a real art piece in your home then this is a special one!!

Choose beauty that never fades with a gorgeous vase of handmade glass flowers.

I individually handcraft every petal of each flower from molten glass in a 1200 degree flame. Once complete each stem is fired in a kiln to 'anneal', this strengthens the glass whilst cooling it. The whole process takes around 10 hours from glass rod to beautiful bloom. Checkout the listing video to see a little more of the process.

Each glass flower stem measures approximately 20cm long, with the heads of the flowers varying from 2cm-3cm depending on the style and design. Every flower is individually handmade, using stainless steel wire and molten glass. Each petal is added, one at a time, shaping the glass to create the perfect bloom before placing it into a kiln to anneal.

The stems are stainless steel, please do not attempt to trim the stems without sharp wire cutters, else the vibrations from cutting with insufficient tools may damage the petals. Please also refrain from bending or shaping the wire, this can cause the glass within the head of the flower to move causing cracks in the glass to occur.

Each glass flower is individually wrapped and secured in eco-friendly packaging.

Each product is made to order but will be a fair representation of the product listed.
