Build the Arrangement That Looks Harder Than It Was
Pick a vase to anchor the shelf, then add the rest until it reads as curated instead of collected.
A small bud vase is rarely bought one at a time, which is the reason the Loft exists in five shapes instead of one. Rectangle, Round, Short Bottle, Square, Tall Bottle, and not one of them stands over 3.25 inches tall or measures wider than 2.6. They were drawn from moulded utility glass, the sort of thing made to be used and replaced, and the finished surface keeps that unevenness deliberately, which is what makes it a vintage glass bud vase rather than a copy of one. The colours run deep enough that people ask for the jewel tone vases by name. Inside each one there is room for two stems, three if they are thin. Mixed along a table the five shapes stop a long run of them looking mechanical, and the height keeps every face visible to every other face. Most tables need more of these than anybody first estimates.

All glass vases in this collection are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, with one exception: mercury glass vases should be hand-washed only. The silvered mercury finish is a delicate coating rather than a solid color, and dishwasher heat and detergent can dull or strip it over time.
For standard glass vases, just load it in with the rest of the dishes — no special care needed. For mercury glass pieces, wash gently with warm water and mild soap, and dry with a soft cloth rather than letting it air dry with water spots.
Rinse and dry after each use, especially if flower food or cut-stem residue was in the water, so nothing lingers and clouds the glass.

A (Mostly) Simple Guide to Cutting Your Flowers
So, you’re making an arrangement? Let’s ensure it lives long enough to impress someone—even if it's just you.
- Scrub the Scissors: Wash your shears first. Your flowers do not want a side of Dorito dust.
- Cut at 45°: Snip stems at an angle. It gives them a straw instead of making them chug from the bottle.
- Trim Underwater (Fancy Mode): Cut them submerged to block air bubbles. It’s extra, but they didn’t ask to suffocate.
- Ditch Submerged Leaves: Strip anything below the waterline. Unless you are actively going for a swamp aesthetic.
- Snip Again if Stale: If they sat out on the counter, trim them again. They need a fresh start (don’t we all?).
- Swap the Water: Change it and trim the stems every few days so they don't die immediately.
Voilà! You are now a domestic deity. Go take your Instagram photo before you forget to water them.
Pro Tip: The light does half the work.
Glass catches and bends light in a way ceramic can't. Set the arrangement somewhere it'll get some late afternoon sun, even for an hour, and the water and stems start doing something a solid vase never will.
