The Art of Colored Glass Vases
Colored glass vases are some of the earliest glassware found in history. The first evidence of them dates back to Mesopotamia in the 16th century B.C. Around this time, hollow glass production was also emerging in Egypt, China, Mycenae (Greece), North Tyrol.
By AD 100, the Romans had done much to spread glassblowing to other countries with effective trade routes. Through the flourishing Roman Empire, glass pieces spread through Western Europe and the Mediterranean. And during the reign of Augustus, glass objects began to appear throughout Italy, France, Germany, and Switzerland.
From a bright and colorful glass floor vase to clear ones, from glass wall vases to square ones, it’s now easy to find the right one for decor since glassblowing is on the rise.
There are many different types of flower glass vases out there, and whether you are looking for one or several, it is important think about how to choose them. A glass floor vase can be a delightful addition to home, therefore proper choice has to be made carefully and consideration should be made as to what your options are going to be.
The glass vase does not have to be a simple cylinder. Through the use of lamp work, artists can affix all sorts of interesting bumps and shapes to the vase. A glass vase like this can be a one of a kind work of art, and it can be quite attractive set in a central location home. There are colored glass vases that have a central channel that will hold flowers, while the body of the vase is much thicker and heavier. These vases might have curved or fluted sides or they might bend and twist in interesting ways. Glass is nothing if not versatile.
Environmental factors also need to be considered for a glass floor vase. For couples, having young children who are accident prone and apt to run into things, very tall and slender colored glass vases are likely a poor idea as it lacks stability. On the other hand, a very sturdy glass vase that has a wide base may survive very handily.
