Nora Vessel

Nora looks like something you'd find in a 1970s design magazine, somewhere between the conversation pit and an extremely questionable shag carpet.

Mouth-blown from 100% recycled glass by artisans in Guadalajara, Mexico, the Nora Vessel from Meso Goods has the kind of personality that makes ordinary flower vases seem a little underqualified. Its generous proportions, warm amber glass, and dark scalloped detailing create an interesting mix of vintage character and contemporary design. Each piece carries subtle variations from the glassblowing process, a welcome reminder that actual human hands were involved. And unlike some of its more purely decorative relatives, Nora is watertight, making it equally suited to a dramatic arrangement of fresh branches or flowers, or simply occupying a table looking rather magnificent.
