Vases
Elegance and simplicity. The Vase de Printemps puts on quite a show with a minimum of effort on your part, while the Sivignon Vase, with only a blossom or two, creates a charming accent. Reminds us of the unique “Savoir Flair” of a French woman with a single scarf.
The extraordinary thing about this vase (also known as the Vase d'Avril, or April Vase) is that anyone using it looks as if they have an advanced degree in floral design. Zinc-coated steel bands link the 21 glass tubes which can be arranged in various ways: a long lazy S, a spiral, a circle, short little wiggles; they can even be taken apart to form autonomous arrangements. Our favorite is letting it wander down the center of the table, with the flowers cut about 10" high, so you can chat with your dinner companions. Just a very few flowers and - Voila! -instant elegance.
Comes with a handy extra glass tube - just in case.

From The Glasshouse de Sivignon, a glassblowing studio housed in an old stone barn in rural France, emerge both one-of-a-kind pieces, many now in museums around the world, and beautiful items for the home.
These charming little bi-color vases are excellent for displaying delicate single stems or blowsy blooms. Each one is individually made by hand, the size varying from 5 to 6 inches tall.
