Ilex Studio Acorn Vase

The Ilex Studio Acorn Vase is a beautifully simple way to grow an acorn into a young oak tree. Designed to cradle the acorn above water, the vase allows the roots to grow freely below while the shoot emerges above — letting you watch the quiet magic of germination unfold over time. From the first root to the first leaves, it turns a small seed into a living, sculptural display. Made from borosilicate glass, the Acorn Vase has a clean, minimal form that sits beautifully on a windowsill, kitchen bench, desk or shelf. It is a thoughtful gift for tree lovers, plant lovers, design enthusiasts, curious children, or anyone who enjoys the wonder of growing something from seed. Each vase includes a 36-page handbook with step-by-step guidance for germinating and growing an acorn, along with an oak tree field guide and creative inspiration for planting trees for future generations.
