A micro vase is smaller than a bud vase.  If Bilbo Baggins were to have a vase in his hobbit house, he might have a micro vase.  They can be as tiny as 2 .25 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches high.  They don't have to match.  You can put a micro vase by each person's place setting at a dinner, or make a grouping with several. 

Good things to know:

The Elusive Micro Vase

The Elusive Micro Vase

  • Micro vases can be contemporary and made of glass.

  • They can be very traditional and made with cut crystal.

  • They can be made of wood, or be ceramic. 

  • They can be an antique ink bottle, or a glass cruit.

  • Micro vases can hold several tiny flowers, like garden Violas or Forget Me Nots .

  • Some micro vases can hold a small rose.

  • All you have to do is put in a couple of flowers that you have snipped. 

Where to find them:
