Price History
Description
With its exuberant handkerchief shape, this vase is an eyecatching choice. It's made with a deep flared rim that's waved to create texture and movement. Swirled confetti glass provides an artisinal finish.
Our Stylist Says
This swirl confetti glass handkerchief vase is a fantastic piece for adding visual interest to a range of interiors. I love how its playful, multicoloured design can bring a lively touch to both modern and eclectic spaces. It works particularly well styled with fresh or faux flowers in a minimal setting, where the vase becomes a statement focal point. For practicality, it’s best suited to holding single-stem arrangements or smaller bouquets to highlight its shape and pattern. To maximise its impact, try placing it on a neutral sideboard or a clutter-free shelf where its bold design can really shine without competing with other patterns.

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.
