Glass Centerpiece Vases

Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions about our vases? We have answers to the most common queries, here.

What is a mercury glass vase?

Mercury glass is a type of blown glass with a double wall. Between the two walls is a layer of liquid silvering solution that gives the glass piece a distinctive reflective shine. This type of glassware looks silver or mirror-like and can be used for tableware, ornaments, vases, and more.

How can I tell if a mercury glass vase is real?

You can find reproductions of mercury glass for many decorative objects but they will look a little different than the real thing. There is no double wall of glass in reproductions. Instead, it’s a silvery coating over a single layer of glass. These reproductions look nearly identical and cost a fraction of the price.

What are the most popular types of glass centerpieces for tables?

There are many table trends to choose from for your next event. Some of our favorites include:

• Massive compote glass bowls full of fruit
• Colorful vases and stemware to match your event theme
• Eco-chic-inspired choices that feature succulents and cuttings
• Floating candles in wide glass vases
