"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." - Chinese proverb

The Acorn Vase designed by Ilex Studio of London is a pure and simple design, based on the principles of minimalism, timelessness, and functionality, it allows you to observe the acorn seed as it matures, giving an insight into the plants' first stages of life. The mouth of the acorn vase cradles the seed, keeping it dry as it sprouts and encouraging the roots to flourish freely. The sinuously shaped vase magnifies the roots as they prosper; creating a perfect focal point to witness the plant as it develops.

A perfect vase also for forcing small paperwhites and muscari bulbs in the winter as well as doing double duty as just a pretty bud vase.
