Description
Our ceramic olpe vase takes its shape from the classic single-handled jug, with a rounded body that tapers gently towards a slim neck and open pouring lip. Standing 35cm tall and 28cm across, it has the presence of a floor or console piece without feeling heavy in the hand. The white glaze has a soft, slightly matte finish that catches the light without shine, and the smooth ceramic surface shows the subtle curve of the thrown form. It is one of those vases that reads as sculptural whether or not anything sits inside it.
The generous body holds tall stems with ease, so it suits armfuls of eucalyptus, pampas, dried grasses or long branches of blossom. The narrower neck helps gather stems into a natural, loose arrangement rather than letting them splay. Left empty, it works just as well as a standalone shape on a hallway table, beside a fireplace or grouped with smaller vases on a shelf. The clean white tone slots into most schemes, from pared-back Scandinavian rooms to warmer country interiors, and it sits happily against both painted walls and natural wood.
Ceramic keeps the vase steady and stable thanks to its weight, and the glazed interior holds water for fresh flowers. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry it to keep the finish looking fresh. If you use it for cut stems, rinse the inside between arrangements to prevent residue. Handle the neck and lip with care as with any glazed ceramic.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made from?
It is made from glazed ceramic with a soft, slightly matte white finish. The material gives it a steady weight and a smooth surface across the rounded body and neck.
Can I use it for fresh flowers?
Yes. The glazed interior holds water, so it takes fresh cut stems as well as dried arrangements or branches.
How should I style it?
Fill it with tall stems such as eucalyptus, pampas or blossom, or leave it empty as a sculptural shape on a table, shelf or beside a fireplace.
Is it big enough to stand on the floor?
At 35cm tall and 28cm across it works on a console or floor near a wall, and holds long stems without tipping.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth and dry it. Rinse the inside between arrangements if you use fresh flowers.
