Check Checked Stoneware Vase 24cm - Multi

This is a stoneware vase painted by hand in a bold checked pattern, multicoloured and full of character. The checks are loose and slightly wobbly rather than ruled, and you can see the brush marks across each block, which gives the pattern its relaxed, hand-painted feel. It stands 24cm tall and 20cm across, with a full rounded body, broad shoulders and a short neck that opens to a gently flared rim. That is a useful middle size: tall enough to hold a proper bunch of stems, compact enough for a shelf or side table.

Put it where it will be seen and enjoyed every day. On a hallway console or a sideboard it gives a plain wall an instant point of interest; on a dining table it carries a loose gathering of flowers, grasses or a few leafy branches without crowding the table. The narrow neck gathers stems together so they fan out naturally at the top, which suits casual, garden-picked arrangements. Left empty, the pattern is bold enough to hold its own on a bookshelf or mantelpiece. It suits anyone who likes colour and pattern at home, and it makes a cheerful housewarming or birthday present.

It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic with a satisfying weight in the hand, and this piece comes in at 1.75KG, so it sits steadily rather than feeling flimsy. The decoration is handpainted, so the edges of the checks have the soft irregularity of a brush rather than a print. For styling, let the pattern do the work: pair it with plain linen, natural wood or a solid-coloured wall, and keep the arrangement simple, a single type of stem or a handful of greenery, so the checks remain the focus.

What is the vase made from?

It is made from 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired ceramic, and the checked pattern is painted on by hand rather than printed.

How big is the vase?

It stands 24cm tall and measures 20cm across, a good size for a generous bunch of stems on a table, sideboard or shelf.

How heavy is it?

It weighs 1.75KG, which gives it a reassuring, solid feel in the hand and a steady presence on a console or mantelpiece.

Is the checked pattern painted by hand?

Yes. The decoration is handpainted, so the checks are slightly irregular, with soft edges and visible brush marks rather than crisp printed lines.

What can I put in it?

It suits flowers, grasses, leafy branches or dried stems, and the narrow neck helps gather a loose arrangement. Left empty, it works as a decorative piece on a shelf.

Does it come with the flowers?

No. You receive the vase on its own. The styling props shown are not included, so the flowers and stems are yours to choose and add.
