Vases as flower vases & decorative vases
A vase can fulfill two very different roles. As a flower vase, it provides support for cut flowers, branches, and dried flowers. As a decorative vase, however, it can also be used as a standalone design object without any flowers.
Depending on their shape and size, vases are suitable for, for example:
- fresh flower bouquets
- roses and tulips
- individual flowers and branches
- dried flowers
- pampas grass
- table decorations
- sideboards and dressers
- shelves and windowsills
- living rooms and dining rooms
- decorative arrangements with candles and lanterns
Glass vases – clear, frosted, colored & mouth-blown
Glass vases form a focal point of the Saasil collection. Glass offers particularly many possibilities in terms of color, transparency, and surface texture, and can therefore appear both very understated and eye-catching.
For example, you will find:
- clear and transparent glass vases
- colored glass vases
- frosted and matte surfaces
- textured glass vases
- mouth-blown vases
- hand-cut versions
- glass vases with decorative interior coating
- vases with leaf, fern, and other patterns
A mouth-blown glass vase in particular possesses an individual character due to the artisanal manufacturing process. Small differences in structure, glass flow, or surface can be part of this handcrafted look.
Mouth-blown vases & handmade glass art
For many vases in the Saasil assortment, the focus is not only on their function as a vessel for flowers but also on their artisanal design.
Mouth-blown glass can subsequently, for example, be:
- matted or frosted
- given a structure
- hand-cut
- color-designed
- refined with decorative patterns
This creates glass design vases that look effective as decorative individual pieces even without flowers.
Large vases as eye-catchers
Large vases are particularly suitable as solitary pieces on sideboards, consoles, larger dining tables, or low furniture. Even a single tall or voluminous vase can significantly change the design of a room.
With large vases, you should pay particular attention to the ratio between height, diameter, and opening. A wide, bulbous vase has a different effect than a tall and narrow shape.
Large glass vases can be combined with, for example:
- larger flower bouquets
- long branches
- dried flowers
- pampas grass
- individual decorative branches
Note: The focus of this collection is on table, sideboard, and larger decorative vases. Classic, very tall floor vases are currently not part of the core assortment.
Small vases for table decor & individual flowers
Small vases are particularly suitable for individual blossoms, short stems, or small arrangements.
Several small vases can also be arranged as a group on a dining table, sideboard, or shelf. A combination of different heights from the same color family or series looks particularly harmonious.
Small glass vases are also practical for:
- table decoration
- individual flowers
- small dried flowers
- nightstands
- windowsills
- small shelves
- gift decoration
Tall vases for long flowers & branches
Tall vases are suitable for longer stems, branches, and decorative grasses. A narrow opening can help hold a few long stems together.
For a lush bouquet, however, there should be enough opening width so that the flowers can spread out naturally.
Even without flowers, a tall vase can create a vertical accent in the room.
Bulbous vases for large flower bouquets
Bulbous vases have a larger volume and often a wider base. This allows them to appear particularly stable and makes them well-suited for more voluminous floral arrangements.
A large opening allows flowers to fan out more loosely, while a narrower neck bundles the stems more tightly.
Bulbous glass vases also look very decorative due to their round shape and are well-suited as a solitary piece on a table or sideboard.
Cylinder vases made of glass
Glass vases in a cylinder shape are among the most linear vase shapes. Due to their uniform form, they appear calm and modern and can be easily combined with other home accessories.
Depending on their size, cylindrical glass vases are suitable for:
- individual flowers
- small bouquets
- branches
- dried flowers
- decorative arrangements

Vase for dried flowers
No water is needed for dried flowers. This allows you to also use vases that are intended for purely decorative purposes.
For longer dried flowers, tall and narrow shapes are practical because they provide sufficient support for the stems. Shorter dried flowers, on the other hand, can be arranged in small or bulbous decorative vases.
Which vase for pampas grass?
Due to their long stems, pampas grass requires a sufficiently tall and stable vase. Tall, narrow glass vases are particularly suitable, as the stems can stand deep enough while the plumes have space to unfold upwards.
For very long or heavy pampas grasses, the vase should have a correspondingly stable base.
Vases in white & cream
White vases appear understated and can be combined with almost any home color. Matte or frosted glass surfaces in particular create a soft look.
White and cream-colored decorative vases go particularly well with:
- Scandinavian style
- minimalist interiors
- boho living concepts
- wood and natural colors
- colored flower bouquets
Beige vases & natural shades
Beige vases go particularly well with natural materials such as wood, linen, rattan looks, and light home colors.
Depending on the surface, beige and sand-colored vases can appear modern, Mediterranean, minimalist, or in a boho style.
Green vases
Green vases harmonize particularly well with plants, branches, and natural tones. Darker shades of green appear elegant, while pastel green creates a lighter and more understated effect.
Colored glass in particular can look different depending on how the light hits it.
Blue vases
Blue glass vases provide a clearly visible color accent and can be combined particularly well with white, gray, wood, and other neutral shades.
Textured or mouth-blown blue glass can also refract light, thereby creating a particularly vibrant surface.
Black vases
Black vases appear striking and modern. They are particularly suitable for high-contrast interiors and can also be used as a decorative object without flowers.
A particularly clear contrast is created with light-colored dried flowers, pampas grass, or individual branches.
Gold & silver vases
Gold and silver-colored vases bring metallic accents into the room. With glass vases, this effect can be achieved, for example, through a decorative interior coating.
Such vases are particularly suitable for elegant, modern, or Art Deco-inspired interiors.
Pink & colored vases
Pink, pastel shades, and other colored vases can be used purposefully as a decorative accent.
Small colored glass vases in particular can be combined well with one another and can result in a more effective table or sideboard decoration as a group than a single vase.
Designer vases & extraordinary decorative vases
A designer vase does not just have to hold flowers. Special shapes, colors, glass structures, or artisanal surfaces make many vases decorative objects in their own right.
At Saasil, you will therefore also find extraordinary vases with:
- mouth-blown glass
- hand-cut patterns
- frosted surfaces
- unusual color combinations
- decorative structures
- metallic-looking interior surfaces
Such design vases can also be used as a solitary piece without flowers.
Modern vases for living rooms & dining rooms
Modern vases are often characterized by clear shapes, special surfaces, or deliberately reduced colors.
In the living room, larger decorative vases work particularly well on a sideboard, coffee table, or console. In the dining room, however, the vase should be dimensioned in such a way that it does not unnecessarily obstruct communication across the table.

Vases in boho style
Organic shapes, matte surfaces, and natural or soft colors are particularly suitable for the boho style.
Frosted glass vases in white, green, or pastel shades can, for example, be combined with dried flowers and pampas grass.
Vintage vases
Vintage vases thrive on textured surfaces, special glass colors, and a deliberately less perfect look.
Mouth-blown or textured glass can fit particularly well with vintage furniture, dark wood, and classic home accessories.

Vases as table decor
Small vases as table decor can connect flowers and decoration without dominating the entire table.
Several small vases of different heights are particularly effective. They can either be filled with individual flowers or arranged empty as a decorative ensemble.
For a harmonious overall look, vases can also be combined with candles, tea lights, and other home accessories.

Vases for sideboard, shelf & windowsill
Not every vase has to stand on a dining table. Depending on their size, decorative vases are also suitable for:
- sideboards
- dressers
- shelves
- windowsills
- consoles
- coffee tables
- nightstands
On larger surfaces, a group of two or three objects of different heights often looks more harmonious than many decorative elements of the same size.
What vase size do I need?
The appropriate size depends on both the flowers and the desired location.
| Vase size |
Typical use |
Suitable for |
| Small |
Table, shelf, windowsill |
Individual flowers and short stems |
| Medium |
Dining table, dresser, sideboard |
Small to medium flower bouquets |
| Large |
Sideboard, large tables, console |
Long stems, larger bouquets, and branches |
| Tall & narrow |
Sideboard and decorative solitary spots |
Branches, individual long flowers, dried flowers |
However, the exact height alone is not the deciding factor. The opening, weight, and base also influence which arrangement a vase is suitable for.
Decorating vases correctly
For a harmonious decoration, you can work with different heights, colors, and shapes.
Some simple options:
- group three small vases of different heights
- use one large vase as a single eye-catcher
- combine a colored vase with neutral home accessories
- supplement a glass vase with candles and lanterns
- combine vases from the same series in different colors
- use dried flowers for permanently decorated arrangements
Flower vase or purely decorative vase?
Many vases are suitable both for flowers and as pure decoration. However, some decorative vessels and multifunctional products are not necessarily intended for every form of permanent water filling.
If you want to use a vase regularly with fresh flowers and water, please pay attention to the respective product description and care instructions.
Vases as a gift
A beautiful vase is suitable as a gift for many occasions because it can be used regardless of furniture size or room layout.
Typical occasions are:
- birthdays
- weddings
- moving in
- Mother's Day
- Christmas
- hostess gift
Handmade or mouth-blown glass vases are particularly suitable if the gift itself should already have a decorative character.
Cleaning glass vases correctly
For regular cleaning, warm water and a mild dish soap are sufficient for many glass vases.
For narrow openings, a suitable bottle brush can help. Sensitive, painted, frosted, or hand-finished surfaces should be cleaned with particular care and in accordance with the respective care instructions.
Mouth-blown and decoratively finished vases should not automatically be put in the dishwasher; please observe the instructions for the respective product.
Removing limescale deposits in glass vases
If a glass vase is used with water regularly, limescale deposits may form over time. On suitable glass surfaces, these can often be removed using a diluted vinegar or citric acid solution.
Afterwards, the vase should be rinsed thoroughly with clear water. For coated, painted, or particularly delicate surfaces, you should check the care instructions beforehand.

Frequently asked questions about vases
Which vase is suitable for roses?
Stable, medium-sized to bulbous vases are suitable for roses. The opening should be large enough for the bouquet without the stems falling apart completely.
Which vase is suitable for tulips?
Tulips can continue to grow after being cut and often lean to the side. Medium-height vases with a slightly narrower opening can provide the stems with additional support.
Which vase is suitable for dried flowers?
Depending on the length, small to tall vases are suitable for dried flowers. Long dried flowers look particularly good in narrow, sufficiently stable vases.
Which vase is suitable for pampas grass?
Due to the long stems, pampas grass requires a tall, stable vase. A somewhat narrower neck can help keep the stems together.
Which vase is suitable for single flowers?
A small, narrow vase with a tight opening is particularly well-suited for a single flower.
Which vase is suitable for a large bouquet of flowers?
For a large bouquet, the vase should have sufficient volume and a stable base. Bulbous or larger, medium-height vases are often well-suited for this.
What is a decorative vase?
A decorative vase is not used exclusively as a vessel for flowers, but is intentionally employed as a home accessory. Special shapes, colors, or surfaces make them decorative even without flowers.
Are there large glass vases?
Yes. At Saasil, you will also find larger and tall glass vases. Check the height, diameter, and opening in each case to ensure the vase fits your flowers or the intended location.
Are there small glass vases?
Yes. Small glass vases are particularly suitable for single flowers, short stems, and table decorations.
What is the advantage of a mouth-blown vase?
Mouth-blown vases are handcrafted and can therefore exhibit individual variations in surface and glass structure. These differences contribute to the character of each piece.
Which vase fits a modern living room?
Clear shapes, textured glass vases, monochrome colors, or targeted color accents are suitable for modern rooms. The vase should either consciously blend into the background or stand out as an individual design object.
What color should a vase be?
White and transparent vases are particularly versatile to combine. Beige and natural tones have a calming effect, green and blue add color accents, while black, gold, or silver act more as a design statement.
How big should a vase be in relation to the bouquet?
The vase should be tall and stable enough to hold the stems securely. Long flowers need a taller vase, while short bouquets can quickly look lost in a vase that is too tall.
How do I clean a glass vase?
For normal use, warm water and mild dish soap are sufficient. For delicate, coated, or hand-finished glass surfaces, you should follow the respective care instructions.
How do I remove limescale from a glass vase?
For suitable glass surfaces, diluted vinegar or citric acid solutions can help against limescale deposits. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with water.
Can I also decorate with vases without flowers?
Yes. Especially designer vases, mouth-blown glass vases, and models with eye-catching colors or textures work very well as standalone home accessories.
