Add a splash of vibrant, jewel-toned charm to your home with this beautiful set of three vintage frosted glass crocus bulb forcing vases. These "Product of EEC" (European Economic Community) starter vases feature a classic bulbous base designed specifically to hold a crocus or small hyacinth bulb just above water level, encouraging roots to grow downward through the neck.
• Texture: Each vase has a luxurious, silky satin frosted finish that feels soft to the touch and diffuses light beautifully.
• Colors: A striking trio of deep amethyst purple, emerald green, and fuchsia red/pink. When placed on a sunny windowsill, these vases glow with a luminous, ethereal quality.
• Form: Elegant "hour-glass" silhouette with a flared rim and sturdy base.
These authentic vintage pieces are embossed on the bottom with "PRODUCT OF EEC" and a diamond logo containing the letters "SA". This marks them as late 20th-century European craftsmanship (likely 1970s-1980s).
• Dimensions: Approximately 4 inches tall (standard crocus size).
• Condition: Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, or cloudiness.
How to Use These Vases:
• Forcing Bulbs: Traditionally used to "force" crocus bulbs into bloom during the dark winter months. Place a bulb in the top and fill with water just below the bulb's base for a spectacular indoor spring display.
• Propagating: These are the perfect size for rooting small plant cuttings like pothos or ivy.
• Bud Vases: Use them to hold short-stemmed wildflowers, pansies, or sweet peas.
• Decor Style: These fit perfectly into Grandmillennial, Eclectic, Maximalist, or Mid-Century Modern aesthetics. They look particularly striking grouped together on a mantle or kitchen windowsill.
