Description
This is a small grey vase in 100% ceramic with a shape that is all its own: a short neck rises from a broad body, and each side steps out twice in rounded tabs, so the outline reads almost like a cog. The surface is finely speckled and textured, with a soft, matt look, and a plain band runs around the base where the grey stops. At 14cm long, 10cm wide and 16cm tall, it is a compact piece for a shelf or a mantelpiece rather than a floor vase, and it weighs 0.8KG, which gives it a pleasing heft in the hand.
Because it is narrower front to back than side to side, it fits neatly on a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a bookshelf, where its stepped profile shows best against a plain wall. We like it with a few dried grasses or a single dried stem, or simply left empty as a small sculpture among books and candles. It suits a living room, a bedroom or a hallway console, and it makes a thoughtful present for someone setting up a first home or anyone who likes quiet, textured ceramics with a bit of character.
It is made entirely of ceramic, a hard, dense material, and that density is why a vase of this size feels so solid. The textured grey covers the neck, the shoulders and the stepped sides, while the lower band is left plain, which gives the piece a crisp line close to its base and a hint of contrast. For styling, set it beside something taller and smoother, such as a slim candlestick or an upright stack of books, so the stepped sides have room to breathe; or pair it with a second vase of a different height for an easy arrangement on a sideboard.
