High/Low: Black Glass Vases from Two Swedish Sources


Recently we’ve been admiring two iterations of night-black vases: a petite recycled-glass vessel from Ikea’s newest collaboration with Ilse Crawford and a hand-blown noir vase by Swedish designer Carina Seth Andersson, spotted via Artilleriet. Both would add a bit of deep, dark gloss to the nightstand or mantel. Take a look:
