Soft curves and a sculptural coiled silhouette, hand blown from 100% borosilicate glass. It works as a statement vase for a single stem or a few delicate blooms, and doubles as a candle holder for a low, glowing light. The amber is warm and honeyed, the quieter of the two colourways.
Key Features
- Hand blown borosilicate glass. 100%, with no coatings.
- It doubles as a candle holder. For a low, glowing light.
- Sculptural coiled silhouette. 14cm wide x 20cm high.
- Each piece is unique. With natural variation in shape and colour.
Pūrē Standard
- Borosilicate, not soda-lime glass. It handles heat change far better, which is why it can hold a candle as safely as it holds water.
- One material, no coatings. Inert glass throughout, with no lacquer or applied colour to chip or wear away.
- Hand blown, so no two are alike. Small variations in shape and colour are the mark of a person having made it, not a fault.
- It replaces the disposable trend piece. Decor is one of the quietest sources of household waste, and a hand-blown glass vase is one you keep rather than replace each season.
- Where we would like more. House of Nunu do not disclose the country of manufacture for this piece.

Our Take
Equal parts vase and sculpture, hand blown so no two are quite alike. Borosilicate rather than soda-lime, which is why it holds a candle as happily as it holds a stem. The piece guests tend to notice on the shelf.
