Description
Our grey glazed ceramic chive vase brings a soft, rounded form to shelves, sideboards and dining tables. Standing 23cm tall with a generous 23cm width, it has the plump, tactile shape of a traditional bud vase, tapering gently towards a narrow neck that holds stems upright without the need for foam or wire. The ceramic body carries a smooth glaze in a muted grey that shifts slightly under changing light, giving each piece a quiet, hand-finished character rather than a flat, uniform colour.
The narrow opening makes this one of those vases that works hard whether full or empty. Slip in a few chive flowers, a single stem of eucalyptus or a small posy of dried grasses and the tapered neck keeps everything neatly gathered. Left empty, its round silhouette and gentle grey tone hold their own as a sculptural object on a mantelpiece or open shelf. It sits happily alongside neutral linens, pale woods and warmer metallics, and pairs well with other vases in a loose grouping of different heights.
The glazed surface resists everyday marks and wipes clean easily, so it stays looking fresh in a busy kitchen or hallway. To care for it, empty and rinse the interior between arrangements, then dry the base before setting it back down to protect wooden surfaces. Handle with a little care around the neck, as with all ceramic, and keep it away from knocks and hard edges to preserve the smooth glaze over time.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a smooth grey glaze, giving it a solid, weighty feel and a finish that varies subtly across each piece.
Can I use it with fresh flowers?
Yes. The narrow neck holds a few fresh stems upright, and it also suits dried flowers or grasses. It looks equally good left empty as a rounded shelf object.
How big is it and where does it fit?
At 23cm in height, width and depth, it suits sideboards, mantelpieces, dining tables and open shelving without dominating the space.
How do I keep it clean?
Rinse the interior between arrangements and wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Dry the base before placing it on wood.
Does it work with other vases?
It does. Group it with vases of differing heights in matching or complementary tones for a considered display.
