While washing up a recent find, I decided to clean and shine two other art glass vases. It seemed like a pretty good idea to create arrangements in all three for today’s offering, too.
The most recent thrift store lucky find is a semi-opaque flower bowl that I suspect is probably Blenko glass. The colors blend from peachy yellow-orange to cobalt blue. A red-orange magnolia takes solitary center stage. Amberina glass cardinals keep watch.
The tall, green sack vase is Blenko glass–according to its label. It’s a sack vase because its shape resembles a paper sack. The container is filled with a late summer bouquet to celebrate the first weekend of September. A favorite paperweight completes the setup.
The recycled-glass, geometric vase was manufactured in Spain. I filled it with Hawaiian obsidian rocks and a trio of bright lilies to coordinate with the triangular theme of the vase. The black glass sphere contrasts with the linear vase.

I’ve always liked the elegance of taller vases. Beautiful, Jay.
Thank you, taller implies elegance.
Indeed. You’re most welcome.
