How do I clean my blue glass vase?

Wash the glass gently in lukewarm water with a mild, non-abrasive detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid hot water and harsh scouring pads, which can scratch the surface or damage delicate metallic overlays. Dry the vessel thoroughly with a lint-free cloth to prevent water spots, especially on pieces with deep cutting or textured surfaces.

Can I put fresh flowers in these vases?

Most of these vessels can hold water safely for fresh flowers, provided you fill and empty them with care. Take extra precautions with antique pieces that feature metal mounts, enamel, or silver overlay to keep moisture away from vulnerable joins. Dry the interior completely after use to prevent mineral deposits from forming inside the base over time.

How do I tell Victorian from Art Deco glass?

Victorian pieces tend to be heavier, featuring deep cut-to-clear patterns, applied metalwork, or rich cobalt tones with ornate ornamentation. They reflect a tradition of dense ornamentation and manual cutting. Art Deco examples embrace stylised natural forms, opalescence, and cleaner geometric silhouettes shaped by moulding and acid etching. The artistic focus shifted toward texture, light diffusion, and sculptural relief.

Where should I display a coloured glass vase?

Position the piece near a natural light source, such as a windowsill or a brightly lit shelf, to allow daylight to pass through the blue glass and illuminate its tones. Direct, harsh sunlight should be avoided for prolonged periods to protect sensitive finishes. Place the vase where it has adequate breathing room among surrounding objects so its form and colour remain the visual focal point.
