Hyacinth vase

About hyacinth vases

Hyacinth vases have a distinctive shape with a narrow neck and a wider base. The hyacinth bulb rests on the neck, while the roots grow downward into the water. This structure keeps the bulb dry and reduces the risk of rot.

These vases are primarily used for forcing hyacinths indoors during autumn and winter. Hyacinth vases are commonly used as seasonal home décor, especially during colder months when fresh flowers are less available.

Hyacinth vases are most commonly made of glass. Glass hyacinth vases allow full visibility of the roots and water level, making them practical and decorative. Ceramic and earthenware versions are also available for a more opaque look.

Hyacinth vases are available in a wide range of colors, sizes, and designs. Traditional hyacinth vases are clear or lightly tinted, while modern designs may feature bold colors or minimalist shapes suitable for contemporary interiors.
