A tonal glass vase fading from warm amber to smoke grey, the shorter, rounder of the pair. The gradient runs through the glass itself rather than sitting on the surface, a depth you can look into, and the lower height suits a fuller, shorter arrangement. It holds a low dome of garden roses, a fistful of tulips cut short, the grocery bouquet rearranged into something intentional. For the housewarming, the friend building a shelf of colored glass, the gift that isn't obvious.
