The New Glamour: 10 Brass Vases for Candlelit Holidays

November 7, 2017

How many different colors of brass can you name? Antique brass, matt brass, polished brass—the list goes on, but all have one thing in common: metal vases look lovely by candlelight.

Brass is a mix of copper and zinc (the the higher the percentage of zinc, the lighter the color of the metal). As the holiday season approaches, we’ve rounded up 10 brass vases that will glow on a tabletop or mantel:brass vase Japan via Gumps
