{"product_id":"betiva-striped-stoneware-vase-25-5cm-multi","title":"Betiva Striped Stoneware Vase 25.5cm - Multi","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a stoneware vase painted by hand, with a full, rounded body that sits on a short footed base and narrows to a flared neck. Two loop handles rise from the shoulders and join the rim, each finished with a small ball where it meets the neck. Bold stripes curve and wave over the body, broken by a painted spot on either side, so the piece reads as multicoloured rather than a single shade. It stands 25.5cm tall and 23.5cm across, nearly as wide as it is tall, which gives it plenty of presence on a surface. At 2.2KG it has real weight; stoneware is a dense, hard-fired clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat width suits a sideboard, a console table, a deep shelf or the floor beside a long curtain, anywhere the pattern can be seen across the room. A vase of this size takes a few generous stems, a single large bloom or a loose bunch of foliage, and it looks just as good standing empty as a decorative piece in its own right. It brings colour and movement to a plain, quiet room, and it holds its own beside other bright painted ceramics in a playful scheme. It makes a cheerful gift for anyone who likes bold, hand-decorated pieces in a living room, hallway or study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is 100% stoneware and every stripe and spot is painted by hand, so the brushwork shows and the stripes vary a little in width as they travel round the piece. The surface has a glossy shine that catches the light. The maker says it does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so treat it as a display piece. For the best effect, give it room on its own or pair it with one or two plainer vessels, and let a single tall stem rise above the rim so the handles stay in view.\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\u003e25.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23.5cm\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\u003eMulti\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\u003e2.2KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the vase made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired clay, and the stripes and spots are painted on by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is the vase?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt stands 25.5cm tall and measures 23.5cm across, and it weighs 2.2KG, so it has a good, solid feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. The maker says it does not go in the dishwasher, the microwave or the oven, so keep it as a display piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the pattern painted by hand?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
