A striking trio of vintage hand-blown smoked glass bud vases in sculptural sea urchin–inspired forms"”organic, textural, and quietly dramatic. An elevated nod to the sea"”subtle, sculptural, and endlessly versatile.

Set of 3
Material: Hand-blown art glass
Color: Smoked charcoal with warm amber undertones
Form: Ribbed "sea urchin" / low donut vase
Condition: Very good vintage condition; minor wear consistent with age

Approximate sizes range from ~3" to 4" diameter; 2-3" height

Each piece features deeply ribbed sides that radiate outward like a sea urchin shell, with a central opening that reads as both functional vase and sculptural focal point. The moody smoked glass shifts from near-black to warm amber undertones, catching the light in a way that feels both coastal and sophisticated.

These sit beautifully at the intersection of coastal decor and mid-century design"”refined enough for a tailored interior, yet organic enough to evoke the shoreline.

Perfect for:

Palm Beach or coastal interiors (layered with coral, shell, and raffia textures)
A Ralph Lauren–style cocktail table or bar
Minimalist or organic modern shelving
A seaside home where subtle nautical references feel elevated, not literal

Grouped together, they read as a curated collection of natural forms"”almost like glass-cast sea life"”while individually they function as elegant bud vases for a single stem or clipping.
