This round glass fish bowl and vase is a single globe-shaped bowl in clear glass, 14.5 cm across at its widest and 11.5 cm high, with a wide, round opening at the top. Its low, rounded shape suits short flowers, a small planted terrarium or a bowl of seasonal decorations on a table or shelf.

Size and shape

The bowl is widest around the middle and curves in again towards the opening, much like a globe with its top taken off. At 11.5 cm high it sits low, so a few flowers in it will not block the view across a dining table, and its 14.5 cm width fits easily on a windowsill, bedside table or bathroom shelf.

A short vase for flowers

As a round glass vase, it is made for short stems: a small hand-tied posy of roses, daisies and gypsophila, a few heads of hydrangea, or shop-bought flowers cut down to sit just above the rim. The curved walls lean the stems outwards so that they fan into a rounded shape. Dried pampas grass and lavender work too, for an arrangement that lasts all season.

A glass terrarium bowl

Layer white gravel, then compost, and plant a single succulent or a few small cacti to make a simple glass terrarium bowl. The clear sides show every layer, and the open top lets air in, which suits succulents better than a closed jar.

Seasonal and everyday displays

Fill it with pine cones, dried orange slices and sprigs of holly at Christmas, with shells and pebbles in summer, or with wrapped sweets for a party table. On a bathroom shelf or dressing table it keeps make-up sponges, cotton pads or hair accessories together and in view.

Care

Wash the bowl in warm, soapy water, using a soft sponge or bottle brush to reach around the curved inside, and dry it with a lint-free cloth to keep the glass clear.

Good to know

The bowl is plain glass with no lid, filter or fittings. It can be used as a glass fish bowl or as a decorative glass bowl and vase for flowers, plants and displays.

14.5 cm across, 11.5 cm high

One bowl, a dozen jobs

A round bowl in clear glass with an open top. Plant it, fill it, float a candle in it or simply put flowers in it — the shape stays quiet and lets the contents do the talking.

DECORATIVE

Styled for every season

Arrange dried grasses for a soft, natural accent, or fill the bowl with pine cones, woven ornaments and dried citrus to create a seasonal centrepiece. The rounded clear-glass form keeps every detail visible and makes the display easy to refresh whenever the room or season changes.

STYLE IT YOUR WAY

A terrarium or a flower vase

Layer pebbles and soil to create a compact succulent display, or add water and arrange garden roses, daisies and other short-stemmed flowers. The low, rounded glass form frames every natural detail and gives each arrangement room to spread gracefully, making the bowl easy to restyle throughout the seasons.

The bowl filled with sand around a lit candle, beside dried lavender and pebbles

Lit

Sand, a candle, and nothing else

Fill the base with sand and set a candle into it. The glass shelters the flame and throws the light back into the room, which is as much as a centrepiece needs to do.

Helpful Product Information

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the bowl?

It measures approximately 14.5 cm across and 11.5 cm high, or 5.7 by 4.5 inches. That is a compact, easily moved size suited to a shelf, side table, coffee table or bathroom counter rather than a large floor-standing piece.

Can I keep fish in it?

It is made and sold as a decorative glass fish bowl for aquatic displays rather than as aquarium equipment. At 14.5 cm across it does not offer the volume or filtration a goldfish needs as a permanent home, so we would point you towards plants, flowers or a decorative display instead.

Does it work as a flower vase?

Yes, it makes a good round vase for short-stemmed flowers. The inward-curving walls hold stems in place and gather them naturally, which suits roses, gypsophila, daisies and compact seasonal bouquets.

Can I make a terrarium in it?

It is well suited to one. Layer decorative gravel, soil and moss and add succulents, and the clear glass keeps every layer visible from the side. The wide open top makes the arrangement easy to reach into and easy to restyle later.

Can I use it as a candle holder?

Yes. Fill the base with sand and set a candle into it, or use it for tea lights or a floating candle display. The glass shelters the flame and reflects the light back into the room.

Is the rim finished properly?

The opening has a smooth rolled rim, giving a neat, polished edge all the way round that is comfortable to handle. The wide top also makes the bowl straightforward to fill, arrange, empty and clean.

Can it go in the dishwasher?

It is both dishwasher and freezer safe, and the smooth surface wipes clean easily. Let the glass come to room temperature before filling it with anything hot or cold.

Is it suitable for wedding or event table decoration?

It is often used that way. A row of identical clear glass bowls makes a simple centrepiece for weddings, engagements, birthdays and dinner parties, filled with water and flowers, sand and candles, or seasonal pieces such as pine cones and dried citrus.
