Description
This is a small white stoneware vase with a character all its own. Its rounded body is pierced right through by an open circle, its rim rises in an uneven, wavy line, and the whole surface is pitted and cratered, so it looks more like a found pebble than a classic pot. It measures 13cm long, 7.5cm wide and 12cm tall and weighs 0.354KG. Stoneware is a dense, hard clay fired at high temperature, which gives a piece this size a reassuring solidity in the hand.
At 12cm tall, this is a vase for a few stems rather than a full bunch: a sprig of dried grass, a single seed head or a couple of short stems suit its opening best. It sits happily on a console table in a hallway, on a bookshelf, beside a lamp on a side table or on top of a short stack of books on a desk. Because the open circle frames a glimpse of the wall behind it, it reads well from across a room and still rewards a closer look at its texture. It makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who likes natural forms and quiet, textured pieces more than bright colour.
The vase is made entirely of stoneware, and its white surface is a large part of its appeal: the raised and pitted texture catches light and shadow differently through the day, so each angle shows something new. The maker gives no care instructions. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, group it with one or two other white or natural pieces at varying heights, or let it stand alone with one tall dried stem rising from its opening.

Frequently Asked
How big is the vase?
It is 13cm long, 7.5cm wide and 12cm tall, and it weighs 0.354KG, so it suits a shelf, a windowsill or a small table.
What is the vase made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard clay, with a white, pitted and cratered surface that you can feel as well as see.
Is the hole through the middle part of the design?
Yes. The open circle runs right through the body of the vase and is part of its form, so the wall or window behind it shows through the centre.
What will fit in it?
At 12cm tall it is sized for a few stems rather than a bouquet, such as a sprig of dried grass, a seed head or two short stems.
What colour is the vase?
It is white, with the pitted texture adding soft shading across the surface, so it sits easily alongside other white and natural pieces.
Does it come with the dried grasses?
No. The dried grasses and the other styling props shown are not included; you receive the stoneware vase alone.
