10 Easy Pieces: Lab Glass Vases

May 23, 2017

Were you the kid who asked Santa for a chemistry set every year because you dreamed of filling glass beakers and flasks with colored potions that would fizz and give off puffs of acrid smoke? Or was that just me? A lust for lab glass never wanes; the adult way to handle it is to collect science-experiment-worthy glass vases.

Bulbous vase, skinny neck: It’s the perfect shape for displaying a single delicate stem (with or without roots attached). My own collection of labware glass includes real beakers and flasks along with some skinny-neck vases whose shapes pay homage to chemistry class. Here are 10 I’m coveting:

When Scandinavian designer Estrid Ericcson got the idea in the \1930s to germinate acorns in a vase, he created a bulbous glass beaker with a narrow neck. The small opening in the Acorn Vase is useful for arranging a wildflower stem or two just so; \$\16 via Svenskt Tenn.

If you want to get me something for my birthday, consider a clear glass Trio Vase Set designed by Jonas Wagell. Heights range from 6 to \1\2 centimeters; \$46 from Scandinavian Design Center. (These also come in blue, amber, and green. I&#8\2\17;d prefer clear glass, please.)

Handmade from chemistry lab glass, a Tessa Vase is 7.75 inches tall; \$6.95 from CB\2.

From CB\2, a Wall Mounted Teardrop Vase is 7 inches long, with a flat back; it sells for \$4.95. A group of these can be used to create an instant DIY Living Wall.

Designed by Michael Anastassiades, a glass Bottle Vase with a brass knob and base is an homage to the designs of Josef Frank. The clear glass body makes it possible to study the parts of a bouquet–stems and roots–that might otherwise hide under water; \$\1\10 via Svenskt Tenn.

 Above: Hardcore. From designer Seletti, a trio of Interior Lab Vases is so anatomically correct that they’d blend right in at chemistry class. Sold separately, the beaker, flask, and cylinder are $60 apiece from The Uncommons.

A Chemistry Glass Test Tube Vase measures \13.5 inches high and is \$30 from Bliss Home & Design.
