Avalon Seed Vases, Set of 4 Glass Avocado Starters

Everything you need to know

About the Avalon Seed Vases

Key Features

Holds an avocado pit half in water
No toothpicks needed to balance the seed
Start several pits at once
Two styles, singles, pairs or a set of 4
Doubles as a small vase after rooting

This set of four small vases is shaped specifically to suspend an avocado pit half submerged in water, which is what lets the pit sprout roots before it is transplanted into soil. Each vase in the set works independently, so multiple pits can be started at once to improve the odds that at least one sprouts. The design solves the usual problem of balancing toothpicks through a pit over a glass, since the vase shape holds the seed in place without extra tools. It suits anyone curious about growing a plant from a kitchen scrap rather than buying a seedling. Once the roots take, the same vase can double as a small display piece even after transplanting.

Made to be lived with

A vase is a room’s
quietest sculpture.

Beautiful with a single stem, and just as complete on its own. The Avalon Seed Vases is shaped to hold its place on a console, a dining table or a shelf.

The idea

A single stem, properly placed, is a whole arrangement.

Good vessels do not need filling. Their shape, glaze and weight are enough, and the day you add a branch, they become something else again.

The styling guide

Why most vases
look like an afterthought.

Three rules for a vessel that looks deliberate, with flowers or without.

Mind the scale.
Match the vessel to its surface: a tall vase for a console or floor, a low one for a dining table where guests talk across it.
Group in odd numbers.
One statement piece, or three of different heights, always reads as more deliberate than a pair.
Let the shape do the work.
A beautiful vessel needs no filling. Add a single branch when you want a change.

Follow these three and the Avalon Seed Vases does the rest.
