Description
Shaped like a ripe strawberry, this ceramic vase brings a juicy pop of colour and a good dose of character to a shelf or table. It measures 18cm wide, 18cm deep and 17.2cm high, with a softly tapered, organic body covered in tactile dimples that catch the light. The exterior wears a rich berry-red reactive glaze, while the interior is glazed too, making it water-safe for fresh flowers. At around 1.16kg it feels solid and steady, and the wide opening happily takes a single stem or a small gathered posy.
We like this vase where a little playfulness is welcome, from a kitchen windowsill to a dressing table, a hallway console or a bookshelf. Fill it with a few short garden blooms, dried grasses or foliage, or leave it empty as a small sculptural object in its own right. The warm red works well against neutral walls, natural wood and cream ceramics, and it sits happily among other fruit-inspired pieces. For a layered look, group it with a taller vase in a similar tone so the shapes echo one another across a run of shelving.
Made from ceramic and finished with a reactive glaze, each piece varies slightly in tone and pattern, so no two are quite the same. The dimpled surface has a smooth, glossy feel, and the glazed interior helps hold water for fresh florals. To care for it, wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and dry it well. Rinse the inside gently by hand after use with cut flowers, and avoid the dishwasher, harsh scourers and sudden temperature changes to protect the finish. Handle with care, as ceramic can chip if knocked.
