Green Glass Face Vase Set of 2 | Handcrafted Sculptural Vases

Set of 2 Handcrafted Green Glass Vases with Abstract Face Motifs

A set of two handcrafted glass vases in a splashed forest green, each featuring an abstract face motif pressed into the surface. Made in India from 100% glass, the pair works as a composed duo on a mantel, console, or bookshelf — or split across two spaces for a quieter effect. The round, open silhouette holds fresh flowers, dried stems, or stands empty as a sculptural object in its own right.

Design & Craft

The face motif in decorative objects has a long lineage — from ancient Greek vessel painting to the figurative ceramics of mid-century studio potters — and its recurring appeal lies in the way it introduces human presence into an otherwise abstract arrangement. These vases work within that tradition without reproducing it literally. The abstract quality of the face — simplified, pressed rather than painted — keeps the object in the territory of sculpture rather than novelty. The splashed green finish is not uniform: the color pools and thins across the surface in a way that reflects the handcrafted process, giving each piece a slightly different tonal character. Made in India from 100% glass, the pair is part of the Rmodern Home Collection and is designed to function as both a vessel and a standalone object — equally at home empty on a shelf as filled with a single stem.

Styling & Placement

The two-piece format gives this set more compositional flexibility than a single object. Three arrangements work particularly well.

Mantel or console table duo. Displayed together, the size difference between the large (11") and small (5.9") vase creates a natural hierarchy that reads as composed rather than matched. Place the large vase slightly off-center and the small one beside it, angled slightly outward. Fill the large with a single stem of dried eucalyptus or a loose arrangement of garden roses; leave the small empty to let the face motif read clearly. The forest green pairs well with warm terracotta, aged brass, and natural linen in a bohemian or eclectic modern interior.

Bookshelf or wall unit layering. Split across two shelves or two sections of a wall unit, the vases create a visual thread that ties the arrangement together without being obvious about it. On a styled bookshelf, pair each vase with stacked books, a small ceramic object, and a trailing plant to build a composition that feels accumulated over time rather than arranged in an afternoon.

Kitchen or dining table centerpiece. The glass material and waterproof interior make these vases practical for fresh flower arrangements on a dining table or kitchen island. The 11-inch height is substantial enough to anchor a table centerpiece without blocking sightlines across a standard dining table. Fill with seasonal stems — ranunculus, anemones, or simple garden greenery — and let the green glass amplify the color of the flowers through the vessel wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the green color and face motif look exactly as shown, or is there variation between pieces?

Because these vases are handcrafted, there is natural variation in how the green finish pools and distributes across the surface — some pieces will show more tonal depth in certain areas, others a more even wash. The face motif is pressed into the glass during production and is consistent in placement and form, but the depth and clarity of the impression can vary slightly between pieces. This variation is inherent to handcrafted glass and is not a defect. The photos represent a typical example of the color and motif character.

Can these vases hold water and fresh flowers?

Yes. Both vases are made from 100% glass and are fully waterproof, making them suitable for fresh flower arrangements. The open silhouette of the large vase (7.9" diameter) accommodates loose, full arrangements; the smaller vase (5.5" diameter) suits single stems or compact posies. Change the water every 2–3 days and trim stems at an angle to extend the life of fresh arrangements.

Can the two vases be purchased separately, or only as a set?

This listing is for the set of two vases — the large (11" tall) and the small (5.9" tall) are sold together. They are not available individually through this listing. The set price reflects both pieces. If you want to display them in different rooms, they work independently as well as together — the face motif and green finish are consistent across both sizes.

How do I clean the glass without damaging the face motif?

Hand wash with warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Use a soft cloth or sponge on the exterior — avoid abrasive scrubbers on the motif surface, which could scratch the pressed detail over time. For the interior, a bottle brush works well for the larger vase. Allow to air dry fully before displaying. These vases are not dishwasher-safe — the thermal cycling and detergent strength in a dishwasher can stress handcrafted glass over time.

How are the vases packaged for shipping, and how long does delivery take?

Both vases ship together in protective packaging with individual wrapping and cushioning for each piece to prevent contact and breakage during transit. Glass items are packed with particular attention to corner and surface protection. Standard delivery within the contiguous US takes 5–10 business days from the date of shipment. A tracking number is provided once the order ships.

What happens if a vase arrives broken, and what is the return policy?

If either vase arrives broken or damaged, photograph both the packaging and the pieces before unpacking further, then contact Rmodern within 48 hours of delivery. Damaged items are replaced or refunded at no cost. For general returns, Rmodern accepts returns within 30 days of delivery for items in original, unused condition. Initiate a return through your order confirmation email or the Rmodern customer service page.
