Hand-blown Glass Bud Vase

I bought this for a single stem from my garden and it holds it perfectly without tipping. The glass is thicker than I expected and you can actually see the little ripples from the blowing. Tried a taper candle in it last night and the flame reflecting through the glass looked lovely.

The organic curves on this vase make it look like it was pulled from water, and the glass is thicker than I expected for hand-blown. I've been using it as a taper candle holder on my dinner table and the flame reflects beautifully through the sides.

I love that the glass is thin enough to feel the warmth of the taper candle through it — the way it magnifies the flame is hypnotic. The organic curves make it look like a little sculpture on my windowsill, even when it's empty.
