Empty glass, you decide what goes in
This is our glass on its own. No plants, no soil, no kit, no dried flowers. Just the vessel. Cylinder vases, open bowls, bottles with and without a cork, glass domes and geometric terrariums, all waiting for whatever you have in mind.
Some people build a terrarium in it. Others put a bunch of flowers in, float a candle, stack shells and moss, or leave it empty on a shelf because the shape is the point.
What you find on this page
- Cylinder vases and open glass bowls, wide and shallow, easy to reach into
- Terrarium bottles with a cork, some with an LED cork built in
- Plain recycled glass bottles without a cork, the same shapes at a lower price
- Two part glass domes, from small egg shapes to the big Dome XL
- Geometric terrariums with metal frames, open at the top
- Propagation vases for bulbs, nuts and cuttings
Why buy the glass on its own
- You choose the filling, no fixed kit decides it for you
- Cheaper than a complete set if you already have plants or deco at home
- A straight replacement when something broke, or a second one to make a pair
- One piece of glass, many uses across the year
Which size fits your plan
Under 20 cm suits one small plant, a short bunch of stems or a single candle. Around 25 to 30 cm is the most useful range: room for a layered build or a proper bouquet. Above 35 cm you get a statement piece, and you will want a long tool or a steady hand to reach the bottom.
For anything you plant, the opening matters more than the height. A narrow neck holds humidity in and looks clean, but working inside takes patience. A wide opening forgives more and is far easier to maintain.
Open or closed
Glass with a cork closes into a self sustaining mini ecosystem. Humidity cycles inside and you barely have to water. Open glass, like a cylinder bowl or a geometric terrarium, suits succulents, cacti, air plants and anything that hates wet air, and it doubles as a vase.
Cleaning and reuse
Warm water, a bit of soap and a bottle brush handles almost everything. Skip bleach, it lingers in the glass. Limescale rings come off with a splash of vinegar and an hour of patience. Glass lasts for decades, so an old bottle is worth cleaning rather than replacing.
Frequently asked questions
Is the glass really empty?
Yes. You receive the vessel only. A cork or a lid is included where the product title says so.
Can I use these as a vase for flowers?
The cylinder vases, bowls and open bottles, absolutely. A bottle with a narrow neck works for a few long stems rather than a full bouquet.
Can I use the bigger bottles for fermenting or brewing?
The large bottles are food safe glass and are often used that way. Check the product page for the exact volume first.
How is the glass shipped?
Packed in our workshop with plenty of protection. Damage on arrival is rare, and if it happens we send a new one.
What do I still need for a terrarium?
Drainage, active carbon, terrarium soil, plants and moss. We sell those separately, so you can build it up piece by piece.
