Dalia Bud Vase — MESO Goods

The Dalia Bud Vase is mouth-blown from 100% recycled amber glass — the warm, translucent color of dark honey, shifting from deep brown-amber in shadow to bright golden-amber in direct light. Two sculptural dark glass handles are applied to the sides — formed from a series of connected glass bubbles, each one hand-shaped, the dark glass contrasting sharply with the warm amber body. The combination of recycled amber glass, hand-blown form, and sculptural handles gives the Dalia a presence that is both functional and artistic — it works as a vase and as a standalone decorative object.

Each vase is mouth-blown by hand — slight variations in the shape, the color distribution, and the placement of the handles are natural and expected. No two Dalia vases are identical.

MESO Goods — Design With Purpose

The Dalia Bud Vase is designed by Diego Olivero, a Guatemalan designer and the founder of MESO Goods — a social enterprise built around sustainable design and the support of artisan communities across Latin America. MESO Goods works with over 550 artisan families in Guatemala, Peru, Haiti, and Honduras, providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and long-term partnerships that support entire communities.

Diego Olivero is a multiple award-winning designer recognized for his work at the intersection of social entrepreneurship and sustainable design. MESO Goods' parent company, Powered by People, has been named a finalist in the Fast Company World Changing Ideas Awards for its impact on the social economy and artisan communities. MESO Goods products are carried by Design Within Reach (DWR) and Nordstrom, and have been featured in Domino and Vogue.

When you purchase the Dalia Bud Vase, you are purchasing a piece made by hand by an artisan family in Latin America — a transaction that supports a livelihood, not just a supply chain.

How It Improves Your Daily Life

The Dalia works in three ways: filled with dried flowers and branches — the amber glass and dark handles pair naturally with dried eucalyptus, pampas grass, and dried wildflowers; filled with fresh flowers — the amber glass filters light through the stems and water, creating a warm glow at the base of the arrangement; or empty — the sculptural handles and the amber color are sufficient on their own as a decorative object on a shelf, a console table, or a windowsill.

The wide opening accommodates loose, natural arrangements without forcing the stems into a rigid shape. The dishwasher-safe construction means it is as practical as it is beautiful.

How to Style It

• Dining table — with dried eucalyptus, pampas grass, or fresh garden flowers
• Console table or sideboard — as a standalone sculptural object, empty or with a single branch
• Windowsill — the amber glass catches and refracts natural light throughout the day
• Shelf styling — grouped with books, candles, and objects in warm amber and dark tones
• Gift — a complete, considered gift; featured in Domino and Vogue, carried by Design Within Reach and Nordstrom
• Pairs with: marble surfaces, natural wood, white and cream walls, terracotta, dark linen
