Multi-Faceted Crystal Vases

Beauty is in the eyes of the Beholder, so says the adage. This is no less true in the case of crystal vases. While inherently beautiful with their ability to sparkle in the light, crystal vases can please their owners even more with the variety of purposes/uses they serve. These days, crystal vases are not just being used for decoration. They are also being used and applied for a variety of other uses and purposes.
 
To be sure, the best use of crystal vases is still as a decorative ornament. Clear crystal glass vases are by far still the most preferred kind with their pure and unencumbered brilliance under the light. Because of their exquisite beauty, they are used on their own requiring no other enhancements. They can be seen usually displayed on window sills or in gathering spaces at home (e.g., living room, on the dining table). They are also used in bedrooms as bedside table decors.
 
Next to being stand alone decorations, crystal vases are popular for holding flowers. The exquisite beauty of crystal vases can only be enhanced by putting flowers in them. And the only reason why some would opt to not use them so is their fear of scratching their crystal vases (possibly from the flowers’ thorns). They would rather just display their vases lest their brilliance be marred by even minor scratches.
 
Still, people have become more creative in their choice of uses for their crystal vases. In truth, such trend is almost inevitable, what with the variety of shapes, colors, and sizes of crystal vases that continue to be sold in the market.

Uses of Crystal Vases at Home
In addition to being ornaments, crystal vases have proven to be quite handy as a vessel for potpourri for infusing rooms with fragrances. Some other imaginative people have also started to use them as a container for their perfumes.
 
Some who continue to use their crystal vases as flower holders have started to place colorful stones at the bottom of the vases to make for a more colorful arrangement (especially in the case of clear crystal vases).
 
In the case of colored crystal vases, depending on their color, they are also used to complement other types of flora, say like herbs and other such greens.

Crystal Vases at the Work Place
Crystal vases evoke feelings of opulence and grandeur. As such, it is no surprise that they can be seen these days in executive offices, conference rooms and other such similar workspaces. Much like valued art, elegant crystal vases can heighten the sense of sophistication of a workspace. Even just on their own, crystal vases can provide a sculptural element to an otherwise barren workspace.
 
Glass is said to be the material of the future. The shapes, colors and sizes of crystal or lead glass vases have increased with the passing of time. And so have their application and uses. Crystal vases are sure to become even more popular as people continue to discover more ways to use them in everyday life.
