Olivia Lowe Flower Vases
We will have a large selection of Olivia's beautiful flower vases in the shop.
Olivia specialises in designing and making sculptural silver vases. Her inspiration comes from the flowers themselves and through her work she creates innovative forms where the vase itself is as visually interesting as the flowers it holds, the two elements working together to create a single, unified composition.
