"When Boda Blom was introduced to the market in the early 70s, the leaflets that came with the vases said 'Vases that speak the language of flowers'. It also came with tips on how to make cut flowers last longer.

Boda Blom was created in collaboration between Signe Persson-Melin and Ulla Molin, garden expert. They had decided to create the optimal vase for flowers. First, three narrow and three wide vases in clear glass were presented. Gradually, there were more vases in different sizes, including tiny vases. These small vases, Signe has told me, are intended for the children's different bouquets with short stems that you can be presented with. The vases came with a thin transparent plastic sheet with holes in it that would make it easier to arrange the flowers neatly. In the middle of the vases there is a strong bead which is intended to give you a good grip on the vase when you lift it", from Precis en sån/retroblog
