The Nova vase is a flared glass vase, 5 inches across the mouth and 3 tall, and that proportion asks for the opposite of what a bud vase asks for. A narrow neck does the arranging on your behalf. A flare declines to: stems fall outward and settle where the glass permits, so the piece wants a handful of them leaning on each other rather than one placed with care. It is a hand blown glass flower vase and the mouth is the reason, since a lip opening like that cannot be pressed or cast. It has to be opened when the glass is soft and turning. Fill it low. Water above the halfway mark spreads to where no stem is standing and does nothing except evaporate. Six or seven short stems is where the thing starts to look intended rather than sparse. Flaring a mouth outward buys a wide open face and costs you the easy version of arranging.
