Description
Our brown ceramic Hydria pot vase takes its shape from the classic water-carrying vessel, with a rounded belly that narrows towards a shorter neck and a wide opening at the top. Standing 15cm tall and measuring 21cm across, it has a low, generous stance that feels grounded and settled rather than reaching upward. The ceramic body carries a warm brown finish that shifts gently with the light, giving each piece a slightly individual look and a tactile, hand-thrown character.
This is a versatile shape among our vases, working just as happily filled or left empty. The broad rim holds a loose gathering of stems well, so dried grasses, pampas or seasonal foliage fan out naturally without needing much arranging. Left bare, the rounded form reads as a sculptural object in its own right, at home on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a hallway console or clustered with books and smaller ceramics on open shelving. The earthy brown tone sits comfortably alongside neutral walls, natural wood and woven textures.
Being ceramic, it is sturdy and easy to live with. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth to keep the finish clean, and rinse the inside if you have used fresh water. We suggest sitting it on a coaster or felt pad to protect polished surfaces, and lifting rather than dragging it across worktops. With sensible handling this vase will hold its colour and shape for years, earning a regular place in your rooms.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a warm brown finish. The material is solid and hardwearing, and small variations in tone and surface are part of its handmade character.
How should I style it?
The wide rim suits a loose arrangement of dried grasses or seasonal foliage, while the rounded form looks good left empty as a standalone piece. Try it on a console, mantelpiece or shelf among books and other ceramics.
Will it fit on a narrow shelf?
At 21cm wide and 18cm deep it has a broad footprint, so check the depth of your shelf before placing it. On a mantel or console it sits comfortably.
Can I use it with fresh flowers and water?
Yes. Rinse and dry the inside after use, and stand it on a coaster to protect the surface beneath from any moisture.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers so the brown finish stays even and unmarked.
