Description
This stoneware vase is shaped in soft vertical ridges that run from the base up to a wavy, irregular rim, so the whole piece reads like a gathered seed pod just beginning to open. It stands 18cm tall and 17cm across, a rounded, compact size made for a shelf, a sideboard or a small table rather than the floor. The white glaze is streaked where it has run down the ridges in firing, and at 1KG the vase has a solid, settled weight in the hand.
The rim is narrower than the body, which helps it gather a loose handful of dried stems, a few slim branches or a single sprig and frame them without crowding. Set it on a windowsill, a bedside table, a hall console or the centre of a dining table, where its low, round form keeps sightlines clear. It looks just as good with nothing in it: the ridges catch side light from a window, and the run glaze shifts as the light moves through the day. It makes a thoughtful gift for a new home or for anyone who likes ceramics with real texture. The styling props shown are not included.
The body is 100% stoneware, a dense clay fired at high temperature, finished in a reactive glaze. A reactive glaze moves and pools in the kiln, so the streaks and the way the glaze breaks over each ridge differ a little from one vase to the next, and yours will be its own. The maker states it is not dishwasher, microwave or oven safe, so wipe it clean by hand. For styling, give it a plain backdrop of linen and pale wood so the glaze carries the interest, or group it with taller, slimmer vases and let its round outline sit at the front.

Frequently Asked
How big is the vase?
It stands 18cm tall and measures 17cm across, a compact, rounded size that suits a shelf, a sideboard or a small table.
What material is it?
It is 100% stoneware finished in a reactive glaze, which gives the white surface its streaked look where the glaze has run down the ridges.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker states it is not dishwasher safe, so wipe it clean by hand. It is not microwave or oven safe either.
Will every vase look the same?
Not quite. A reactive glaze moves and pools in the kiln, so the streaks and the way the glaze settles on the ridges vary a little from one vase to the next.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1KG, a solid weight for a vase of this size that gives it a settled feel on a shelf or table.
What shape is the rim?
The rim is wavy and irregular, following the vertical ridges of the body, so it rises and dips all the way around the opening.
