This early Victorian clear glass celery vase stands 25.5 cm high, 14 cm wide, and 14 cm deep. The tulip-shaped bowl has a flared, undulating rim and deep vertical ribs on the lower third, complemented by an etched floral and leaf pattern above. A large drop baluster knop and supporting collar connect the bowl to a circular foot with a polished pontil mark. The glass is clear with slight hazing on the lower bowl and no chips or cracks. Today, this piece serves as a decorative dining table centrepiece or functions as a vessel for flowers in an English Country House interior. The traditional form adapts easily to contemporary dining tables for alternative vintage tableware displays.

FAQs

In Victorian Britain, fresh celery was a prized status symbol served at formal dinner parties. Celery vases were designed as prominent table centrepieces to hold celery stalks upright in salt water before dining.

These vessels were hand-blown or pressed from clear lead glass, after which artisans applied intricate floral patterns using acid etching or wheel engraving techniques.

Authentic 19th-century examples display natural wear or micro-scratching on the base, a resonant ring when tapped due to lead content, and subtle irregularities inherent in hand-worked glass.

An antique glass celery vase works effectively as a table centrepiece or mantle display, functioning as a tall flower vase for seasonal blooms or greenery.

Wash by hand using lukewarm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft cloth to avoid thermal shock and clouding. Avoid washing antique glass in dishwashers or using abrasive pads.
