Marks & Spencer
M&S Smoked Glass Textured Frill Vase Brown
£25
Price History
Description
This textured glass vase has atmospheric smoked tones dispersed through it for an individual look. It's designed in a cylindrical shape, with glass frills running up the vase at intervals. The final frill decorates the top rim for an artisanal look.
Our Stylist Says
I love the smoked glass textured frill vase for its subtle nod to vintage charm with a modern twist. Its layered, textured design adds visual interest, making it a great statement piece on a side table or mantel. It works well in both contemporary and eclectic interiors, especially when paired with natural or muted tones to let the brown hue and textured details stand out. For styling, consider using it with a few simple dried flowers or branches for an understated look, or leave it alone to showcase its unique craftsmanship. Its versatility means it can function as both a standalone decorative piece or as part of a curated display of glassware.

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.
