Do You Know What Your Vase Is Made Of?

Posted on September 2, 2010 by Eliwagar1

What's This Vase Made Of?

Today I would like to talk about the different materials that vases are made out of. Vases from around the world are made of several kinds of materials, some are more expensive and sought after due to the difficulty of there production or of the rarity of the material itself. Vases can be made of woods, earth, metals, crystals, and glass, so lets take a look at these in detail.

Wooden Vases :

Wood is used a lot in SE Asian country’s especially bamboo. They come in many shapes and sizes and are usually have a generous layer of lacquer applied to give it a nice sheen or glow, this also has the additional benefit of protecting the wood from the environment. They are sturdy and can be quite elegant, I love large floor vases made of bamboo for instance.

Glass Vases :

Are great for holding flowers and are usually transparent or translucent which is nice if you would like to showcase other materials with the flowers like river stones, or beads, etc… Hand blown glass vases can also come with lovely intricate designs blown into them by the artist and can be transformed into pure works of art.

Crystal Vases :

Crystal vases usually come with etchings and designs, they can catch the light in wondrous ways bending it and casting the beams throughout a room, these are also perfect for showcasing flowers.

Metal Vases :

Metal vases can be quite expensive due to the level of craftsmanship involved in producing them, also the materials can be pricey as well. They can come embossed with intricate designs and are very sturdy and forgiving if an accident should happen.

Clay Vases :

These are the oldest forms of vases and yet are still made widely today. Clay vases have a very earthy feel to them. You can find them a lot of times glazed and painted. They are able to lend a rustic feel to any space.

Ceramic Vases :

Ceramic vases are famous for their elegance. Whenever you hear about a vase selling for tens of millions of dollars it usually the case it is Chinese ceramic. The true treasure of a collector, ceramic is made of non-metallic materials that have been fired in extreme temperatures then cooled.

Large Floor Vases

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Eliwagar1

Large floor vases can add elegance and dimension to any room. Sometimes you might find bare spaces in one of your rooms that you want to add some decoration but just cannot figure out what to put there. Well, a large floor vase is just perfect for filling up empty spaces like corners and hallways.

Decorative floor vases are great as a stand alone piece but are also very good at drawing attention to other pieces, like that great painting you love to show off, or next to that expensive leather couch you just bought. They can really make other objects that were somewhat subdued really pop out. Floor vases are complemented very well with long dried flowers or sticks/twigs and look absolutely great.

The first you should do is examine the space you are trying to decorate. Is it a large room with lot’s of space in the corners, or maybe it’s a hallway that’s just a bit to bare.

Then think about what color, size, pattern, and shape of a vase would complement that space. You will probably want to stick with the style of the space, for instance if the room already has a contemporary feel to it, then tall floor vases with a busy design is probably not going to match very well. There are many types of large floor vases to pick from, you have your elegant traditional porcelain or ceramic, and beautifully lacquered ones made out of wood that offer a great glossy finish. Ceramic floor vases can be eye catching as well as a large clear glass floor vase. Bamboo is always a nice way to go and can be extremely strong, and I especially like a tall floor vase.

Just be careful with the wood vases, as some are not made to have water in them. For these you’ll want to stick with the dried flower arrangements or sticks. If you really want fresh flowers in them make sure you put in a plastic container first, so you do not damage your floor vases.

Once you find a nice large floor vase that will match it’s surrounding’s well, give it a nice home in the space you picked out for it. I hope it looks great.
