Bud Vase in Oak or Walnut by MacMaster

A small wooden bud vase with a glass vessel, for single stems on a desk, nightstand or windowsill.

The MacMaster Bud Vase in Oak or Walnut is a smooth, curved timber frame that holds a glass vessel for a single stem or a small arrangement. The Standard is 7.1 in tall with the glass, 5.5 in wide and just 2 in deep, so it fits on a windowsill or a narrow shelf.

It can also hold dried stems or reed-diffuser sticks for a permanent display. A Large size is offered too.
