Rectangle Flute Glass Modern Clear Flower Vase
Build the Arrangement That Looks Harder Than It Was
Pick a vase to anchor the shelf, then add the rest until it reads as curated instead of collected.
The Rectangle Flute is a rectangle vase built as a row of separate bores in one long body, and it is the best thing we make. Every version measures 4 inches wide and 2 inches tall. Only the length moves: 5 inches for the four-hole, 8 for the eight, 24 for the twenty-four. That constant is what lets three lengths sit on one table without reading as three different products. As a flute vase it borrows from the table runner rather than from the vase, being a long low object made to travel down the middle of a table, which is why it works as one of the few low wedding centerpieces guests can genuinely see over. Along its length each bore takes one stem, so the arrangement becomes a line instead of a bunch. Cut everything to a similar height and the row reads as one piece. The longer the version, the less the table needs anything else on it.

All glass vases in this collection are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning, with one exception: mercury glass vases should be hand-washed only. The silvered mercury finish is a delicate coating rather than a solid color, and dishwasher heat and detergent can dull or strip it over time.
For standard glass vases, just load it in with the rest of the dishes — no special care needed. For mercury glass pieces, wash gently with warm water and mild soap, and dry with a soft cloth rather than letting it air dry with water spots.
Rinse and dry after each use, especially if flower food or cut-stem residue was in the water, so nothing lingers and clouds the glass.

A (Mostly) Simple Guide to Cutting Your Flowers
So, you’re making an arrangement? Let’s ensure it lives long enough to impress someone—even if it's just you.
- Scrub the Scissors: Wash your shears first. Your flowers do not want a side of Dorito dust.
- Cut at 45°: Snip stems at an angle. It gives them a straw instead of making them chug from the bottle.
- Trim Underwater (Fancy Mode): Cut them submerged to block air bubbles. It’s extra, but they didn’t ask to suffocate.
- Ditch Submerged Leaves: Strip anything below the waterline. Unless you are actively going for a swamp aesthetic.
- Snip Again if Stale: If they sat out on the counter, trim them again. They need a fresh start (don’t we all?).
- Swap the Water: Change it and trim the stems every few days so they don't die immediately.
Voilà! You are now a domestic deity. Go take your Instagram photo before you forget to water them.
Pro Tip: The light does half the work.
Glass catches and bends light in a way ceramic can't. Set the arrangement somewhere it'll get some late afternoon sun, even for an hour, and the water and stems start doing something a solid vase never will.
