1. Client Background
Our client, a premium floral design brand based in Canada, to elevate their visual presentation, they sought custom flower vases that would perfectly complement their signature minimalist style. They chose Mosteb for our proven expertise in precision glassmaking and our ability to balance functionality with aesthetic harmony.
2. Challenge
The vase design was deceptive in its simplicity. The fact that they wanted the vase to be very transparent made its manufacture very difficult. Even a tiny internal air bubble could raise the most conspicuous point and thus make it difficult for the vase to look as pure and as luxurious as it should. Another thing was that the perfect mouth diameter and the inner curvature had to be very carefully looked at because if the match was not right then the flowers would lean in an awkward way or the waterline that was there just for aesthetic reasons would be disturbed.
3. Cause Analysis
The technical team went through the processes very thoroughly and came up with the following two points which were the main reasons for the troubles:
- The temperature at which the glass was initially blown was such that the tiny bubbles that were to be found in the molten glass could hardly be eliminated.
- The alignment of the mold and the rate at which it was cooled affected the shape of the inner surface and thus the variations that compromised the stability of the floral arrangements.
What we did to solve the problems was that we not only worked closely with the client’s floral designers but collected the exact measurements and visual preferences so that the manufacturing precision and artistic function could be on the same level.

4. Solution
- Optimized Melting and Cooling Control – Changed furnace temperature and cooling gradients were monitored to remove trapped gases and to achieve optical clarity.
- High-Precision Mold Redesign – Utilized CNC technology to remodel the molds for ensuring that the mouth diameters were consistent and interior curvature was smooth.
- Enhanced Inspection Protocols – Implemented a three-stage visual inspection under polarized light aimed at identifying micro-bubbles or refractive irregularities before packaging.
- Prototype Collaboration – Worked with the client on various 3D-printed as well as sample prototypes to finalize not only the ergonomic features but also visual symmetry prior to going into full production.
5. Result
The last set of custom-made flower vases was beyond what the client had anticipated – the transparency was impeccable, the flowers became stable in the most natural way, and the elegant visual flow that was done to lift the presentation of their arrangements was there. Soon after, the brand decided to place more orders for various sizes stating that the vases were the main factor that determined their aesthetic identity at the upscale level.
