Timeless Vases for the Holidays

White amaryllis, midnight calla and red carnations – during the festive season, beautiful cut flowers become part of the interior, arranged in timeless vases.

A Modern Classic

For this year’s holiday season, one of Svenskt Tenn’s modern classics returns – the Vase Dagg in black, designed by Carina Seth Andersson. With its characteristic shape, the handmade vase becomes a striking and dramatic centrepiece, especially in contrast to winter-white flowers.

All vases are blown in the same mould, yet each Vase Dagg is unique, as small variations occur depending on the glass mass and heat during production.

Estrid Ericson’s Pewter Vase

During the holiday season, low flower arrangements are beautifully displayed in the small vase Jam Jar in pewter. Designed by Estrid Ericson in 1950–1951, it is one of four classic models she believed should be found in every home. Against red roses or carnations, the pewter’s soft sheen comes to life, creating a warm and festive atmosphere.

Josef Frank’s Glass Vases

Svenskt Tenn’s assortment includes several glass vases by Josef Frank – many of them designed in the 1930s and characterised by a timeless expression. The Sung vase is inspired by the Chinese Sung period and features a low, wide shape, while Vase No. 13 is a taller model that Josef Frank created as a protest against the many swan-necked vases of the 1930s.

Today, these vases are made using wooden moulds at Skrufs Glasbruk in Småland. Over time, the character of the moulds changes, resulting in subtle variations in the shape of the vases – making each one unique.
