Description
This small brown vase is made entirely of stoneware and stands 13.5cm tall, 10cm long and 7.5cm wide. Its shape is what sets it apart: a tall, narrow neck rises from a rounded, full belly, and two small ring handles sit at the shoulder like a pair of ears. Fine ridges circle the body from the foot to the rim, and the glaze breaks over them in streaks of deeper and lighter brown, catching the light with a soft sheen. At 0.25KG it is light enough to move from shelf to table whenever the mood takes you.
At this size it is a bud vase rather than a vase for a generous bouquet. The narrow neck gathers a single stem, a sprig of foliage or two or three dried grasses, which is exactly the scale that suits it. Stand it on a bookshelf among books and other ceramics, on a dining table beside a taller vase, on a mantelpiece or on a kitchen windowsill, where its small footprint takes up almost no room. It suits anyone drawn to earthy, textured pieces, and it makes a thoughtful small gift for a friend who keeps a desk or a bedside table that needs a little life.
Stoneware is fired at high temperatures, which makes it dense and hard-wearing, a sound choice for a small piece handled often. The ridges give the surface real texture as well as pattern, and the streaks in the glaze gather more thickly in some places than in others. At the foot the glaze stops short, leaving a narrow band of bare clay. For styling, pair it with two or three taller vases in similar earthy shades, or let it stand alone on a stack of books with one dried stem; its small scale makes it a natural partner for larger pieces on the same shelf.
