Description
This amphora vase takes its shape from classical vessels, with a rounded body that tapers into a narrower neck and a pair of gently curved handles framing each side. Made from ceramic and finished in a deep blue glaze, it carries a subtle floral motif across the surface that shifts with the light. Standing 34cm tall and measuring 31cm across, it holds enough presence to anchor a shelf or console without crowding the space around it.
We find this one of the more versatile vases to style, since it works whether full or empty. Fill it with long stems such as pampas grass, eucalyptus or seasonal blooms and the wide belly gives them room to fan out naturally. Left bare, the glaze and form are enough to hold their own on a mantelpiece, a hallway table or beside a stack of books. The blue reads well against neutral walls, warm timber and both traditional and modern interiors, so it settles easily into most rooms.
Ceramic is a practical choice for everyday display, being sturdy and easy to keep clean. Wipe the outer surface with a soft, damp cloth and dry it afterwards to keep the glaze bright. If you use it for fresh flowers, rinse the interior between arrangements and check the base is stable before filling with water. Handle by the body rather than the handles when moving it, and place it away from the edge of surfaces where it might be knocked.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a blue glazed finish and a floral motif across the body, giving it a solid feel and a smooth surface.
Can I display it without flowers?
Yes. The amphora shape and handled sides mean it looks complete on its own, so it suits a mantel, console or shelf when left empty.
How big is it?
It stands 34cm tall and measures 31cm in both width and depth, so it makes a good centrepiece rather than a small accent piece.
Will it hold fresh flowers and water?
The wide body suits longer stems and takes water for fresh arrangements. Rinse the interior between uses and check it sits level before filling.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry it to protect the glaze. Rinse the inside after using fresh flowers.
