Description
This small stoneware vase has a face. Its upper part is shaped as a head, with gently closed eyes, a long straight nose and a quiet smile, and it narrows at the neck before widening into a rounded body. The lower half carries an embossed geometric pattern of crosses, rings, dots and short bars, set in rows you can feel under your fingertips. It stands 14.5cm tall and 6cm across and weighs 0.234KG, a compact size made for a few stems rather than a full bouquet. The pink glaze settles differently over the raised pattern, so the motifs read slightly paler than the smooth areas around them.
At this size it suits the spots where a larger vase would crowd things: a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bedside table or the end of a desk. A few dried grasses or a single sprig of dried flowers is all it needs, and the slim neck keeps them standing upright. The face gives it a little character, which makes it a good gift for someone setting up a first home, or for a friend who likes things with a sense of humour. It sits happily beside books and framed prints, and it is light enough to move from room to room whenever the mood takes you.
The vase is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at high temperature. The face and the geometric pattern are raised in relief, and the whole piece is finished in a glossy pink glaze with a speckled, slightly mottled surface, so the colour shifts a little across the body. We like it beside plainer pieces in neutral tones, with the face turned slightly towards the room, where it catches the eye without dominating the shelf; the styling props shown are not included.
