blomus AVO Glass Avocado Seed Starter Vase
Couldn't load pickup availability
A mouth-blown glass vase that holds an avocado seed over water so you can watch it sprout into a plant.
AVO cradles an avocado seed above the water, so the roots grow down into the clear glass while the shoot rises from the top. The Small is 5.9" across and 3.7" high; the Medium is 6.1" across and 5.7" high. Because each AVO is mouth-blown, shape and weight vary slightly from piece to piece. Avoid sudden temperature changes with fine glass. The avocado seed is not included.

The design: studio blomus
studio blomus is the in-house design team at the blomus headquarters in Sundern, Germany. It develops many of the brand’s home pieces, from glass and ceramics to lighting and textiles, drawing on the company’s own design know-how that goes back to 1961.
Why we carry it
We are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. AVO is the gift we recommend for plant lovers and kids alike: a mouth-blown glass vase that holds an avocado seed above water so you can watch it grow into a plant. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.
Buy once: durability and care
Rinse with warm water and change the water regularly; avoid sudden temperature changes with fine glass. Mouth-blown glass means each AVO varies slightly in shape and weight.
