A twist on a traditional vase style. The original Tear Drop vase comes in two sizes allowing for the perfect symbiosis when both sizes of this style form a group setting.  The 3D Big Tear Drop Gallery version is the next level of unique offering and currently only offered in the larger of the two sizes.

3D Printed Vases come with two pieces.  The 3D printed outer sleeve, or “technology-inspired functional art” piece, and the upcycled bottle insert which holds the water and creates the weight for stability.

The Gallery outer sleeve prints in a unique colourway which means we can never determine the exact result until the product is finished.  When you purchase one of these stunning vases we will send you whatever sleeve colour is available on the day OR email us BEFORE you purchase and we can show you the selection available on the day.

Approximate dimensions: Dia 190mm x H 300mm

A Polylactic Acid - a polymer made from renewable resources. Contrary to other thermoplastics, which are petroleum based, some of the raw materials for PLA’s production include cornstarch, tapioca roots, or sugarcane.

Why do we use PLA?

We believe PLA to be the most sustainable friendly 3D printing material available to us at this time.

Will we change from PLA?

In line with Upcycled Glassware’s Promise to You we will seek the most eco-friendly products available to us to bring you mindful consumer products. Our aim is to always look to new and innovative ways to develop pieces which you are proud to bring into your spaces knowing together we have worked toward a solution path forward.
