Inspired by the trumpet-blowing White Rabbit that Alice follows down the rabbit hole to Wonderland, Michael Anastassiades's Trumpet vases are produced the same way as the bell of this ancient wind instrument. He chose for one of the most traditional techniques of hand-turned metal, whereby a disk of metal, usually brass, is formed. Its diameter is then progressively narrowed to the size of a finger, which allows the piece to be welded to the rest of the object's body. This process is used to build most wind instruments. In Anastassiades's poetic eye, it gives shape to flower vases whose convex underside curves up into the shaft as an ulterior connection to the shape of the object by which it was inspired. Available in two versions, brass and silver-plated brass.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Samuel Y. ★★★★★

I was nervous it would look too novelty, but the flared bell shape is genuinely elegant on the shelf. The brass has a warm, weighty feel that makes it a great centerpiece even without flowers, and the trumpet-inspired design is a real conversation starter.

Chloe ★★★★★

The polished brass catches the morning light perfectly, making the trumpet shape really stand out against my white wall. I've been using it for dried flowers and it's surprisingly stable for such a narrow opening.

Ruby X. ★★★★★

It looks like a real trumpet bell, yet the opening holds a few stems perfectly. There’s a lovely weight to it, and the matte finish makes it feel sculptural rather than kitschy. I smile every time I catch it out of the corner of my eye.
