{"product_id":"alea-floral-stoneware-vase-21cm-pink","title":"Alea Floral Stoneware Vase 21cm - Pink","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a small stoneware vase with real character: a round belly, a short neck finished with a rolled lip, two loop handles and a raised pedestal foot that lifts it clear of the surface. The whole piece is painted by hand in pink, with a large open rose across the centre of the belly, smaller blooms, buds and leaves around it and a spray of tiny flower heads rising towards the neck. It stands 21cm tall and 13cm across, is made entirely of stoneware and weighs 0.8KG.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 21cm tall it suits a loose handful of flowers, a few dried stems or a small bunch from the market rather than an armful of tall branches. The handles and pedestal give it the shape of an old trophy urn, so it holds its own on a chest of drawers, a sideboard, a mantelpiece or a dressing table, and it brings a cottage, vintage feel to a bedroom or sitting room. It also looks well standing empty on a bookshelf, where the painted rose does all the work. For anyone who loves floral pottery and old-fashioned prints, it makes a thoughtful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStoneware is fired at a high temperature, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and that suits a piece that will be handled and moved around the house. The pattern is painted by hand rather than printed, and the brushwork shows in the petals, the leaves and the soft rings around the foot. It does not go in the dishwasher, so wash it by hand instead. As a styling note, choose flowers in soft pinks and pale tones that echo the painted rose, and let a few stems fall loosely over the rim and past the handles, as the shape is made for a relaxed, generous bunch rather than a tight posy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100% Stoneware\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandpainted\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDishwasher safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMicrowave safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOven safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.8KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the vase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 21cm tall and measures 13cm across, a good size for a loose handful of flowers or a few dried stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the vase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vase is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic, and its floral pattern is painted by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The maker states it should not go in the dishwasher, so wash this vase by hand instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 0.8KG, which gives it a reassuring heft for a stoneware vase that stands 21cm tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it have handles?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
