Description
This is an oval stoneware vase in a deep, glossy blue, covered in large matt ovals with a fine speckled texture. The ovals vary in size and sit close together over the whole body, so the pattern reads strongly from across a room and still rewards a closer look. The body swells out from a small, narrow mouth to full shoulders and tapers slightly to its base, giving a soft, pebble-like outline. It stands 20cm tall and measures 14.5cm across, a medium size that holds its own on a side table without crowding it.
At 20cm tall, it takes a generous handful of dried grasses, seed heads or a few branches, and the narrow mouth gathers the stems so they stand upright and close together. It works just as well empty: it has enough pattern to stand alone on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a hall console. It suits a living room, a bedroom, a hallway or a study, and makes a considered gift for someone setting up a new home or anyone who likes colour and pattern in their rooms.
The vase is made entirely of stoneware. Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, and this piece weighs 1.38KG, a reassuring heft for its size that helps it sit steadily on a shelf. The glossy blue surface and the matt ovals give two textures under the hand, and the gloss picks up light from a nearby window or lamp. The styling props shown are not included. Give it room to breathe: set it on its own on a pale surface, or beside plain ceramics in quieter tones, so the oval pattern takes the lead.
