Flip it.
Most vases do one thing. Ours do two. Here is how the Flip vases, the Fusion sets and our reversible bowls work, and why one piece ends up doing the job of two.
How the Flip vase works
Every Flip vase is made of two parts: the vase itself and a top part that lifts off. That top part is the whole trick.
Top in, for bouquets. Set the top part inside the vase and you get a wide mouth. Room for a full bunch from the market, tulips, a handful of garden flowers.
Top on, for single stems. Put it over the vase and you get a narrow opening that holds one or two stems upright, exactly where you want them. A single ranunculus, a branch, one dahlia.
The two parts are different colors, so the flip changes the look too. And because the vase comes apart, it is easy to clean.
Fusion: two vases, swap the tops
The Fusion sets are two compact Flip vases that belong together. Each works exactly like a Flip, and the tops fit either vase. Swap them and the colors mix: a new pairing whenever you feel like it. Use them side by side on a table, or split them between two rooms.
Glass or ceramic
Same Flip, two materials.
Glass is mouth-blown and translucent. Light passes through the color, so the vase changes through the day, and each piece is slightly different from the next.
Ceramic is made in Portugal by a small ceramic workshop. It is fully glazed inside and out, opaque and calm, with a fine ridged detail at the base. It sits more quietly on a shelf and pairs well with wood and linen.
The bowl flips too
Our reversible bowls have two sides: a big 10" opening and a small 5" one.
Big side up, it is a full bowl for fruit, bread or chips. Turn it over and the base becomes a small bowl for dips, olives or nuts, or a low vase for a few short stems.
Our favorite use comes from customers: two bowls on the table, chips in one, and the other flipped over with the guacamole on top.

Questions we hear most
How does the flip work, exactly?
Every Flip vase comes in two parts. Lift off the top part. Set it inside the vase and you get a wide mouth for a full bouquet. Put it back over the vase and you get a narrow opening that holds single stems upright.
Why are the two parts different colors?
So the flip changes the look as well as the function. Wide mouth or stem opening, you see a different mix of color each way.
Is it watertight for fresh flowers?
Yes. The glass Flip vases are lead-free glass, and the ceramic versions are fully glazed inside and out, so both hold water for fresh flowers.
How do I clean it?
Hand wash. Because the vase comes apart in two pieces, it’s much easier to reach inside than a regular vase.
What sizes are there?
The Flip vase is 7" tall and 5" across. The Flip XL is 10" tall and 6" across, made for larger bouquets and branches. The Fusion sets are two smaller vases.
What is a Fusion set?
Two compact Flip vases that belong together. The tops fit either vase, so you can swap them and mix the colors.
Glass or ceramic?
Same Flip idea, two materials. The glass is mouth-blown, lets the light through, and each piece varies slightly. The ceramic is made in Portugal, fully glazed and opaque, with a quieter, more solid look.
How does the bowl flip?
The reversible bowl has a big 10" side and a small 5" side. Big side up, it’s a full bowl for fruit or chips. Turn it over and the base becomes a small bowl for dips, olives or nuts.
Can I put flowers in the bowl?
Yes. Flipped to the small side, it works as a low vase for a few short stems.
Are the bowls food safe?
Yes. The glass bowls are lead-free glass and the ceramic Tip Top bowls have a food-safe glaze. Hand wash is best for both.
Is every piece the same?
The ceramic pieces are very consistent. The glass is mouth-blown, so expect small differences in shape and tone from piece to piece. That is part of the handmade character.
