A glass flower vase is a transparent or tinted glass container made to hold fresh, dried or preserved flower arrangements.

  1. Confirm the flower type you often use: long stem roses need vases 25-35cm tall, while small dried flower bunches fit 10-18cm mini vases
  2. Check glass thickness: choose 3mm+ thick glass for daily use, to prevent accidental breakage from minor bumps
  3. Match the decor style: geometric shaped vases fit modern homes, while hand blown wavy vases work for retro aesthetic spaces
  4. Verify safety certification: make sure the product is lead-free and food safe, no toxic substance will leach into flower water
