beyond the wildflowers
up-cycled vintage glass, botanical art, and floral preservation
DISCLAIMER
Please be aware when purchasing from Beyond the Wildflowers that the glassware used is ANTIQUE. This means that it is fragile and needs to be handled with extra care. While these pieces can be enjoyed for entertainment and decor, they are not meant for everyday use. In addition, some of the old glassware used may have minor chips or flaws. This is considered general ware due to the age of the glass. Moreover, like any beautiful art that is functional, overuse will shorten the life span or due to age of glass it may break overtime.
Each piece of glassware is authentic antique and vintage. The glassware ranges from time periods starting in 1910-1970. All pieces are hand sourced from antique stores across the east coast.
The flowers used are sourced from the artist’s home garden, wholesale flower distributors and local florists. In addition, an assortment of real fruit is dehydrated and preserved into the glassware. All dishes are sealed with an FDA approved food safe resin.
