3 Styles of Glass Floor Vases that You Will Like

Although glass is the most fragile material used for vases, glass vases are the best medium for showcasing the many artistic possibilities of pottery design. Shaping details is much easier executed on a glass floor vase. The same is true for adding color to the vase. The coloring techniques used for pottery produce the clearest results in it. In the same way, the various idioms of art pottery are best demonstrated when done on a clear glass vase.

Victorian glass floor vases

Most Victorian pieces are tinted or opaque. Those vases which are opaque are frequently painted with charming images of nature, such as flowers and birds. You may also see depicted on Victorian floor glasses, images of people living during that era. There are fine examples of underglaze as well as overglaze painting in vases of the Victorian period. A variety of glass textures were also quite popular at that time. Worthy of mention are the glass floor vases that resembled the color of mother-of-pearl. Another name for this type of glass is ’satin’ glass. It is characterized by a milky texture. Vaseline glass pieces were also widespread in the same period. These are impregnated with minute amounts of Uranium. They resemble Vaseline jelly in color and texture and are called Vaseline glass because of that. Both types of glass are collectors’ items.

Art Deco glass floor vases

This style of making glass vases is loved by many people for its strong imagery and lines. Art Deco glass can be very attractive and engrossing as center pieces. However, the style does not blend well with all types of decor. That is due to the fact that its figures are executed in heavy, static shapes that seem ready to drop to the floor any second. However, if the designs on an Art Deco floor vase are purely geometrical, they are easier to combine with most room motifs. Because of the heavy appearance of Art Deco images, these vases are often used without floral ensembles.

Modern glass floor vases

Modern glass vases include any items whose designs cannot be classified under any of the other art idioms. In other words, purely decorative styles that are not concerned with aesthetic principles, such as plain polka dots and designs that are seen on fabrics usually belong to this class. Another way to describe modern art is ‘whimsical’. That is because it is essentially an expression of personal feeling that does not exert too much effort to be artistic. Examples of this type of imagery are those associated with popular graphic media.

If your purpose for getting vases is strictly aesthetic, you should obtain glass floor vases. The reason behind that is the clarity of the medium. It allows you to see all the nuances and lines of the design in the clearest way possible. Glass can be refined into fragile shapes. It can be imbued with color in different ways and degrees. All hues are most faithfully reproduced in glass.
