 Great collection of vases These small blue glass Aladdin vases are designed to hold a single stem and are a lovely way of displaying flowers from your garden.
But they’re also a great little set for using as decorative accessories in the home. The vases come as a set of six, three made from clear blue glass and three from frosted glass. There are plenty of ways in which you can use them - dotted around singly on windowsills, in pairs, in groups of three or altogether on a shelf.
The set of six Aladdin stem vases is very affordable at only £12 from Graham and Green.

 Stylish sugar bowl As sugar bowls go, this is a really stylish example.
Made from crystal clear glass, the sugar bowl has a silver metal lid that is decorated with an unusual handle. It comes completed with a polished spoon, which is designed to sit comfortably in the bowl even when the lid is on.
The glass makes it easy to see what’s inside and how much sugar you’ve got left, so you won’t face that annoying problem of wanting sugar, but discovering you’ve run out (or is that just us?!).
The Fredericke glass sugar bowl is available from Zara Home.

 Glass table lamp We love this elegant ombre table lamp, from Next.
The glass base is the eye-catching part of this lamp - it’s nicely shaped, but goes from a deep teal colour to a light blue. It’s accompanied by a faux silk teal shade, although you could replace this for a lighter colour if you wish.
The lagoon ombre table lamp is available from Next, where it’s priced at £35.

Modern clocks have become so much more than simply timepieces, as these two glass clocks from Karlsson demonstrate.
The flower field glass clocks are decorated with an array of contemporary floral designs, making them an eye-catching piece of art.
It’s amazing how different the design becomes by adding colour, but we think we do ultimately prefer the monotone black and white version.
You can find the Karlsson black flower field clock and the multicoloured flower field clock for sale at Dot Maison.

 Glass flower dish This beautiful glass dish is handmade in a lovely magnolia flower shape. Measuring 18cm in diameter, you can clearly see the petals of the flowerhead and the centre of the bloom and it’s been nicely finished off with a subtle gold shade.
It would look lovely on a shelf, windowsill or table, left empty or filled with sweets or nibbles.
You can buy the magnolia dish from ZiggiZiggi, for £13.50.

 - Special crystal bowl
I’ve previously only associated Aspinal of London with luxury leather goods, but did you know they sold other home items too?
Take this crystal decorative bowl, for example. It’s not any old average bowl, but is a special piece made from clear crystal glass with a sterling silver base.
It’s not cheap, but it is hand crafted and, for a special occasion, it would make a very nice home gift. Measuring 13.75″ in diameter, the bowl is the ideal size for a fruit bowl.
The crystal glass and sterling silver bowl is available from Aspinal of London.

If you’re on the hunt for a glass coffee table, then it’s worth checking out the tables on offer at M&S, especially as they’ve got a special 50% off furniture deal starting today (and running until 26th January 2010).
The contemporary glass coffee table, with its Italian design, is perfect for any discerning modern home. Its rounded ends and smooth, flowing lines help it fit effortlessly into a room and it measures 38cm by 120cm by 60cm.
If you prefer a table that’s slightly less cutting edge, then the Viva coffee table, with its brushed metal finish, is a good classic option.
It has a shelf underneath, which would be handy for storing magazines or children’s toys, although with the glass top you can’t get away with hiding too much clutter underneath! This table measures 40cm by 85cm by 50cm.
For more home furniture bargains, including reduced sofas, cabinets, armchairs and beds, have a look at the M&S furniture sale.

 Lovely glass lamp base
If you’re looking for a new lamp base, then this clear glass baroque style base could be the perfect option.
As well as looking great, the benefit of clear glass is that will go with almost any colour scheme and you can team it with the lampshade of your choice.
The vibrant pink leaf shade shown here is a good contrast colour and the silk shade is available to buy separately if you wish.
The baroque style glass lamp base is available from PenelopeTom on Not On The High Street, where it’s currently reduced in the sale.

 Not just any old dish...
With their nicely rounded edges, and tactile curves, they’d look great on a table in your living room, or used packed to the brim with sweets and nibbles at a party.
The ultramarine blue glass is just one of the options available - you’ll also find the same design in clear, grey, sand and turqouise blue.
Buy the bowls from Skandium for £13 each.
