Vases improve the aesthetic appeal of spaces in your home and add charm to events such as weddings. Whether you enjoy fresh flowers or artificial ones, vases add style in displaying plants whenever, wherever.

Höglund Art Glass provides a wide selection of glass vases in NZ. Our collection of vases is one of our most popular works. Apart from their functionality, our art vases also serve as inspiring and collectible art works in their own right. Each vase is also handcrafted and designed to perfection.

Our selection of vases come in different colours and styles. Our Vase Veil is a unique and one-of-a-kind addition to our collection. This vase is blown using the detailed Sommerso technique, in which individually coloured layers overlap each other and are framed with crystal clear glass.

For stunning overlapping colours mixed with beautiful shades, choose our Eclipse Collection. This mixture of design and colours combines elegance with design. The Eclipse vases perfectly illustrate the countryside with vivid and warm colours, contrasting with soft tones of orange and shades of blue and green.

Our Apollo collection captures intergalactic beauty. Vases from this collection feature dramatic colours reminiscent of the night sky. The Apollo collection planetary-like shades contrast with the glass. Each vase is hand-blown from the purest and clearest glass.

Festival Vases are sculptural collectibles with fluid movement, with a spiral around the coloured core. The collection of flat vases are functional and decorative at the same time.

All of our vases are unique. Each vase is different from the next, providing you with something only you can own. Browse through our selection and find the vase you would like to include in your collection.

Product Description

Seen from Earth, our Galaxy appears as a milky arch stretching across the celestial vault.

Where our planet is placed inside this great spiral disk, our line of sight towards the centre (28.000 light-years long) is blocked by billions of stars and clouds of interstellar dust and gas, which makes it impossible for us to gain an idea of the real appearance.

A curtain of stars, which appear to touch each other, which are an illusion caused by perspective, hides the centre of the Galaxy. In reality, these estimated 200 billion stars are 30 million million kilometers (3 light-years) away from each other, and despite appearance the Galaxy is essentially empty.

This masterpiece is handblown by glass artist and master glassblower Ola Höglund from crystal clear glass in the Sommerso technique, a rare and complex technique originating in Italy, famous for its sculptural elements and dramatic effect.

In the center, delicate layers of coloured glass are worked around the core, submerged within layer upon layer of crystal glass.
Each layer of the clear crystal glass plays with light through the layers of translucent, luxurious colour as a glowing nebula casts its gaseous draperies against the background sky.

As enchanting and enthralling as the Milky Way itself, this Galaxy vase will captivate you…
