Collection: Sompex Dinah – Blue glass vases & glass bowl

Sompex Dinah – blue glass vases and glass bowl made from handcrafted glass

The Sompex Dinah collection combines vibrant blue glass with traditional glass craftsmanship and an expressive wave pattern. The series includes three blue glass vases in different sizes, as well as a large glass bowl that can be used as a fruit bowl, serving bowl, or decorative dish.

All four glass objects are mouth-blown and subsequently hand-cut. The matte frosted surface gives the intense blue a calm and elegant appearance, while the cut pattern stands out differently depending on the incidence of light. This makes the Dinah glass vases and the matching glass bowl suitable both as functional home accessories and as standalone decorative objects.

What does mouth-blown mean?

Mouth-blown means that the hot and still malleable glass is shaped using a glassblower's pipe and blown air. The glassmaker influences the shape and proportions of the resulting glass object.

In contrast to fully standardized mass-produced items, a mouth-blown glass vase can show small individual differences. Slight deviations in shape, glass flow, surface, or structure are therefore not defects, but part of the artisanal character.

Every mouth-blown Dinah glass vase and every Dinah glass bowl thus possesses its own slightly individual profile. Even though all objects follow the same series, no two pieces are exactly identical in every detail.

What does hand-cut mean?

After shaping, the glass surface of the Sompex Dinah series is hand-cut. This creates the characteristic wave and flow pattern that runs across the blue glass surface.

Hand-cut means that the surface is worked by hand. As a result, the cut areas become visible in different ways depending on the shape, angle of view, and incidence of light.

Since the cut is performed by hand, the progression and definition of the pattern can vary slightly. Precisely these differences give every hand-cut glass vase and glass bowl its individual character.

What is frosted glass?

Frosted glass has a matte-looking surface. In contrast to completely clear and highly reflective glass, light appears softer and more restrained on a frosted surface.

In the Dinah series, the matte frosted surface combines with the vibrant blue and the hand-cut wave pattern. The matte areas appear calm and velvety, while the cut structures absorb more light and emphasize the pattern.

Depending on daylight, artificial lighting, and the viewing angle, the surface can appear slightly different time and again. This makes the Dinah glass objects particularly interesting for a sideboard, dining table, dresser, or a well-lit entrance area.

Three blue glass vases – which size is suitable for what?

The Dinah series includes three blue glass vases with different proportions. This allows you to choose a suitable shape for different flowers, branches, dried flowers, and locations.

Blue Dinah glass vase 22 × 20 cm

The blue Dinah glass vase 22 × 20 cm is particularly suitable as a table vase and flower vase for small to medium-sized arrangements.

Its rounder shape offers space for tulips, roses, short bouquets, individual blossoms, dried flowers, and decorative branches. With its height of about 20 cm, it can be placed on the dining table without unnecessarily obstructing the view across the table.

Even without flowers, the blue glass vase works as a decorative standalone piece on a sideboard, shelf, dresser, or coffee table.

Narrow Dinah glass vase 18 × 28 cm

The narrow Dinah glass vase 18 × 28 cm has a taller and slimmer shape. It is particularly suitable for longer flower stems, dried flowers, pampas grass, and decorative branches.

The blue flower vase can be used on a sideboard, a console, or a larger dresser. Due to its slender silhouette, it sets a visible vertical accent without appearing too massive.

Tall Dinah glass vase 21 × 36 cm

The tall blue Dinah glass vase 21 × 36 cm is the largest and tallest glass vase in the series. It is particularly suitable for long-stemmed flowers, larger dried flower arrangements, pampas grass, and long decorative branches.

The tall glass vase looks especially good on a large sideboard, a console, a dresser, or in a spacious entrance area. Due to its height and the eye-catching cut pattern, it can also be used as a design vase without flowers.

Those who combine several Dinah glass vases with each other obtain a harmonious arrangement of different heights and shapes. The uniform blue and the hand-cut wave pattern visually link the individual vases together.

Blue Dinah glass bowl as a fruit bowl, serving bowl, and decorative bowl

The blue Dinah glass bowl Ø 29 cm has a height of about 14.5 cm. Like the three matching glass vases, it is mouth-blown, hand-cut, and designed with a matte frosted surface.

Due to its size, the blue glass bowl can be used as a fruit bowl, salad bowl, serving bowl, or decorative dish. On the dining table or a kitchen island, it offers sufficient space for fruit and simultaneously becomes a visible part of the room decor.

Empty, the glass bowl works as a modern decorative dish. It can, for example, be arranged with seasonal decorative elements, natural materials, or decorative objects. Even on a sideboard or coffee table, the vibrant blue glass remains a striking eye-catcher.

Combining all four Dinah glass objects

The special strength of the Sompex Dinah series lies in the fact that all four products share the same color, surface, and artisanal design, but differ significantly in shape and height.

The three blue glass vases can be arranged as a group on a long sideboard or a larger dresser. The different heights create a varied silhouette, while the uniform blue ensures a calm overall picture.

The glass bowl can be placed slightly in front of the vases or used separately on the dining table or kitchen island. This way, the series can be distributed across various areas of an open living and dining space without the decoration looking inconsistent.

The products are offered individually. This allows you to either select a single Dinah glass object or combine several shapes from the series individually.

Which flowers go well with the Dinah glass vases?

For compact bouquets, tulips, roses, and shorter stems, the Dinah glass vase 22 × 20 cm is particularly suitable. Its rounder shape gives the flowers enough room, while the height is well-suited for table decoration.

For longer flowers, dried flowers, pampas grass, and individual branches, the narrow glass vase 18 × 28 cm is a suitable choice. The taller shape provides more support for longer stems and sets the arrangement more clearly in the spotlight.

The large glass vase 21 × 36 cm is suitable for long-stemmed flowers, larger branches, and more voluminous dried flower arrangements. Due to its height, it can also be used as a purely decorative vase.

With fresh flowers, the size of the bouquet should match the opening and height of the vase. The vase should be sufficiently stable and provide support to the stems without the flowers being squeezed together too tightly.

Decorating blue glass vases with dried flowers and pampas grass

Dried flowers, pampas grass, and decorative branches go particularly well with the matte, frosted surface of the Dinah series. Natural beige, cream, and brown tones form a calm contrast to the vibrant blue glass.

For long stems and pampas grass, the Dinah glass vases with a height of 28 or 36 cm are especially suitable. Small dried flower arrangements, on the other hand, can also be decorated in the compact vase with a height of 20 cm.

Since dried flowers do not require water, the vases can be used as permanent home decoration for a longer period of time. The hand-cut wave pattern remains visible even if the vase is filled with only a few individual stems.

Blue glass vases for the dining table, sideboard, and living room

A blue vase sets a stronger color accent than a transparent glass vase. Therefore, even a single Dinah glass object can change the effect of a room.

On the dining table, the compact vase with a height of 20 cm is particularly suitable. It offers space for flowers but remains lower than the two larger versions. The Dinah glass bowl can be used here additionally as a fruit bowl or decorative focal point.

On a sideboard or a dresser, two or three Dinah glass vases in different heights can be combined with each other. The tallest vase serves as the rear or lateral eye-catcher, while smaller shapes complement the arrangement.

In the kitchen or dining room, the glass bowl can be used as a blue fruit bowl. In the living room, it functions as a decorative bowl on a coffee table or sideboard.

Which interior styles does the Sompex Dinah series fit?

The combination of blue glass, frosted surface, and hand-cut pattern can be integrated with various interior styles.

In a modern living space, the vibrant blue sets a deliberate color accent. In Scandinavian-furnished rooms, it creates an interesting contrast to light wood, white, gray, and natural textiles.

For the boho style, the blue glass vases can be combined with pampas grass, dried flowers, wood, linen, and warm natural colors. In a vintage or Art Deco-inspired room, the special glass pattern and intense color underscore the decorative character of the series.

Even in an otherwise neutral interior, the Dinah glass vases and the matching glass bowl can be used as a cohesive blue accent group.

Combining blue glass decoration with lanterns and tea light holders

The Dinah glass vases can be well combined with candlelight and other glass objects. Clear, silver-colored, or blue lanterns and glass lanterns pick up on the material effect of the glass, while warm candlelight creates a soft contrast to the cool blue.

On a sideboard, for example, a tall Dinah vase can be grouped with a smaller lantern and another home accessory. For the dining table, lower tea light holders and tea light glasses are suitable because they complement the flower arrangement without blocking the view across the table.

Sufficient distance should always be maintained between open flames, flowers, dried flowers, and other flammable decorations.

Cleaning mouth-blown and hand-cut glass vases correctly

Warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft cloth are suitable for cleaning the Dinah glass vases and the glass bowl. Coarse sponges, abrasive cleaning agents, and hard brushes should be avoided on the frosted and hand-cut surface.

For vases with a narrower opening, a soft bottle brush can be used. After cleaning, the glass objects should be rinsed thoroughly with clean water and dried carefully.

Strong and sudden temperature changes can stress glass. Therefore, very cold glass should not be cleaned immediately with hot water. Cleaning in the dishwasher should only be done if this is explicitly provided for in the care instructions of the specific product.
