Description
This brown ceramic amphora vase draws on a classical shape, with a rounded body that tapers gently towards a narrower neck and opening. Standing 27cm tall and 23cm across, it has enough presence to hold its own on a shelf or table without dominating the space around it. The ceramic has been finished in a warm, earthy brown that carries subtle variation across the surface, so no two angles look quite the same. It is a piece that reads as handmade in spirit, with the sort of honest weight and solidity you expect from a well-made pot.
The amphora form makes this one of the more versatile vases to style. Filled with dried grasses, pampas or a few tall stems, the narrow neck holds arrangements upright and keeps them looking deliberate rather than crowded. Left empty, the silhouette stands on its own as a sculptural object, which suits a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a quiet corner shelf. The brown tone sits comfortably alongside natural woods, linen and stone, and works equally well in a pared-back scheme or a room layered with texture and warmth.
Practicality is straightforward. Wipe the outside with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to lift dust, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the finish. If you use it with fresh stems and water, empty and dry it fully between arrangements to protect the interior. As with most ceramic vases, handle it with care when moving, since a firm knock can chip the glaze. Treated gently, it will keep its look for years.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a warm brown finish. The surface carries gentle tonal variation, giving it a natural, tactile quality rather than a flat, uniform colour.
How should I style it?
The amphora shape suits dried grasses, pampas or a small number of tall stems, with the narrow neck keeping them upright. It also looks well left empty as a sculptural piece on a console, mantel or shelf.
What size is it and where will it fit?
It stands 27cm tall with a 23cm width and depth, so it has real presence without overwhelming a table or shelf. Allow a little clearance around it to let the rounded form show.
Can I use fresh flowers and water in it?
Yes. If using fresh stems, empty and dry the interior fully between arrangements to protect the ceramic, and stand it on a coaster if placing on a wood surface.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scourers, which could mark the finish over time.
