Price History
Description
The wide, flared lip of this cylindrical vase gives it a sophisticated, curvaceous silhouette. It's made from clear glass in a tall height with a timeless tapered shape for extra interest. The lightly rippled surface adds tactile appeal to this medium-sized piece.
Our Stylist Says
The M&S Medium Tall Flared Glass Vase is a versatile piece that works well in both modern and classic interiors. Its clear, flared design adds an elegant touch without being overpowering, making it perfect for displaying fresh flowers, houseplants, or even standalone as a sculptural element. I love styling this vase with simple, monochromatic arrangements for a clean, minimalist look, or adding colourful blooms for a lively pop of colour. It fits seamlessly on sideboards, mantelpieces, or centre tables and is practical for creating dynamic displays thanks to its generous height and shape. Its understated appeal means it can adapt easily to different settings, whether in a contemporary apartment or a more traditional home.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
