Vintage Crystal Double-Handle Trophy Vase – Persian Shield & Variegated Tradescantia

Regal, Iridescent & Utterly One of a Kind

This extraordinary custom arrangement pairs a stunning vintage double-handled cut crystal trophy vase — ornate, heavy, and museum-worthy — with two of the most visually striking plants in the collector world. A lush Strobilanthes dyerianus (Persian Shield) rises from the center, its leaves shimmering with an extraordinary palette of pink, green, and purple iridescence that catches every shift in light. Purple flower buds are already forming, promising blooms just around the corner. Cascading over the elegant crystal handles, a variegated Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’ trails in creamy yellow-green and white striped leaves, softening the arrangement with wild, flowing energy that contrasts beautifully with the rigid geometry of the cut crystal. The arrangement is built on a foundation of organic LECA for drainage and planted in a rich organic soil mix for long-term root health.

• Strobilanthes dyerianus (Persian Shield) — shimmering pink, green, and purple iridescent leaves; purple flower buds forming
• Tradescantia fluminensis ‘Variegata’ — creamy yellow-green and white striped leaves cascading over the crystal handles
• Organic LECA drainage layer at the base for excellent moisture management
• Rich organic soil mix for healthy, thriving roots
• Vintage double-handled cut crystal trophy vase — ornate, heavy, and one-of-a-kind
• Each arrangement is unique — one per listing
• Thrives in medium to bright indirect light — more light enhances Persian Shield’s iridescence and encourages blooming
• Keep soil lightly and consistently moist — avoid letting it dry out completely
• Loves humidity of 50%+ — a pebble tray or humidifier helps
• Prefers temperatures of 60–80°F; protect from cold drafts
• ⚠️ Toxic to pets — keep out of reach of cats and dogs

A regal, collector-worthy arrangement that transforms any shelf, mantle, or windowsill into a botanical gallery. The crystal vessel and iridescent foliage were made for each other.
