Learn how to select the perfect TRE vase size for your space and flower arrangements, with practical decision rules and trade-offs.
Quick answer
Choose the TRE 65x100mm for compact spaces and short stems, or the TRE 200x420mm for tall, dramatic arrangements that need a stable base.
Why size matters for your flower vase
The size of your vase directly affects how flowers look and how long they last. A vase that is too short for long stems forces blooms to bend, while one that is too tall can hide delicate flowers. The TRE series offers two distinct sizes to match different floral styles and room proportions.
Both vases are made from unsaturated polyester resin, a material that gives them a smooth, matte finish. The smaller model weighs about 120 g, making it easy to move or group with other objects. The larger model weighs about 2700 g, so it stays put even with heavy branches.
Trade-offs to consider
The compact TRE 65x100mm is ideal for a single bloom or a small bunch of short stems, but it won't hold a full bouquet or tall branches. Its narrow opening limits the number of stems you can arrange. On the other hand, the TRE 200x420mm can handle large arrangements and tall branches, but its weight and height mean it needs a stable, spacious surface and is harder to move once filled.
Both vases are sensitive to direct sunlight, which can cause yellowing over time. Flower food may also affect the resin, so test any additive on a hidden area first. Neither vase is dishwasher safe; clean with warm water and a soft sponge only.
How to decide: TRE vase size rules
- Match vase height to stem length: A good rule of thumb: the vase height should be about one-third to one-half the total stem length. For stems up to 30 cm, choose the 100 mm tall vase. For stems 60 cm or taller, choose the 420 mm vase.
- Consider the display surface: The 65x100 mm vase (120 g) is safe on lightweight shelves or near electronics. The 200x420 mm vase (2700 g) needs a sturdy, level surface—do not place on unstable furniture or near edges where it could be knocked over. Always place the larger vase on the floor or a solid table, never on a wobbly stand.
- Think about flower count and arrangement style: The small vase has a narrow opening that holds 1–5 thin stems. The large vase has a wide mouth that can hold 10–20 stems or a mix of branches and blooms. If you like minimal, single-stem displays, the small vase is enough. For lush, full arrangements, go large.
