Description
Byron is a stoneware vase with a rounded, gently uneven body, a short narrow neck and a small flared lip. Its white surface has a soft, slightly lumpy texture flecked with fine specks, and it is scattered with round dots in a deeper tone, each with a hatched, textured fill. It stands 20.5cm tall and 17cm across, and at 1.05KG it has a solid, reassuring weight for its size.
At this height it is a table vase rather than a floor piece, the right scale for a side table, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill. The narrow neck takes a few stems rather than a full bunch, which suits dried grasses, seed heads or a single branch, and the rounded shape holds its own standing empty. In a living room it brings texture to a plain shelf; in a hallway or bedroom it gives a quiet focal point without crowding the surface. It also makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves textured ceramics.
The body is 100% stoneware. Stoneware is a dense clay fired at high temperature, which is why it feels solid and hard-wearing in the hand. The vase is finished in a reactive glaze, and a reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the surface varies a little from one vase to the next and yours will have its own character. That gentle irregularity is part of its appeal, sitting comfortably beside smooth, more uniform pieces. For styling, place it on plain wood or beside linen, and keep the stems sparse and tall so the rounded outline and the dots can hold the eye.

Frequently Asked
What is the Byron vase made from?
It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired clay, and finished with a reactive glaze over a white body scattered with round textured dots.
How big is the vase?
It stands 20.5cm tall and measures 17cm across, and it weighs 1.05KG, a good size for a side table, a bookshelf or a mantelpiece.
Is every Byron vase identical?
Not quite. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the surface varies a little from one vase to the next, while the rounded shape, white body and round dots stay the same.
What kind of stems suits the narrow neck?
The neck is narrow, so it is best with a few stems, such as dried grasses, seed heads or a single branch, rather than a full, heavy bunch.
Is anything included with the vase?
You receive the vase on its own. The styling props shown are not included, so you can fill it with stems of your own choosing.
