You could fill them with glass beads and add a tealight, or you could paint them.

Hi Kim, Whenever I have extra glass vases like that, I try to find some sort of candle or battery operated candle that I can add to it. I don't really use vases for flowers in my house unless my hubby gives me some for V-day or mothers day. But I do love having candles on(real or not) when company comes over. So....you could spray paint them. Have you see the looking glass mirror paint? I just used it on a project recently and I was amazed how well that finish turns out. It would be great for something like a vase with a candle.
Also, they have spray paint that gives a sea glass look as well. You could do anything with glass vases like that.
Sometimes I use little Christmas lights in vases to give the same effect in a center piece.
If you have 3 different heights, you could put them all together for a centerpiece as well. Use a mirror in the center of your table and add the vases with candles on top of the square mirror....and then add greenery and candlesticks around them.
Just throwing out ideas for you. Have fun decorating!
Kim: maybe this will help

Tablescape with 3 and full each with something co ordinating, then sit on a mirror.
You can do grouping in multiple places around the house but I would think you wouldn’t want many so consider giving as gifts filled with various things.

Hi Kim, so many choices for these, you can use them for dry decor ideas, like sand art, or put gel beads in them with silk floral arrangements, or candle holders, i have attached a link, with several ideas for vases, and a sample photo, hope it helps you

Fill them according to the holidays. Candy corn for Halloween and Thanksgiving, red dollar store beads for Christmas, Hearts for Valentines day, etc. Have fun with them. You could also buy some etching cream.
You can usually find tops that would fit at the dollar store then you can use as canisters.
Could they be used as cloches in the garden?

Hi Kim,
Use as Vases together or apart, or for pens/pencils etc. Lots of other ways to pretty them up by using Decoupage,- Paper/Fabric/dried flowers etc. or painting with glass paints or etc. Have fun!
Faux monstera leaves are popular right now. Are your vases tall enough to hold a few? See the first picture in this post: https://jessicawellinginteriors.com/faux-cement-tile-fireplace/
