Description
Kairi is a small stoneware vase built up in stacked sections, like a little sculpted column: a flared neck, a dotted collar, a rounded middle and a wide, flared foot. It is multicoloured, with each section in its own band of colour, two fine rings and a row of dots around the collar, and long painted strokes running down the foot. At 7.5cm across and 14cm tall it is a bud vase size, made for a few slender stems rather than a full bunch. It is made entirely of stoneware, a ceramic fired hard and dense, and this piece weighs just 0.16KG, so it is easy to move from shelf to table.
Its height suits the places where a tall vase would crowd the view: a bookshelf, a side table beside an armchair, a hallway console or the corner of a desk. We like it with two or three dried stems, such as teasels or grasses, which give it just enough height without hiding the pattern on the body. It sits happily among other ceramics on an open shelf, where its stacked outline reads like a small sculpture even when it stands empty, and it makes a cheerful gift for anyone who likes colour around the home.
The surface has a glossy finish, and the flared foot is the widest part of the vase, giving it a broad footprint on a shelf or table. Because each colour sits in its own band, the vase pairs well with plainer pieces in one of its shades, letting you pick out a single tone and repeat it across a shelf. For styling, group it with a few vessels of different heights, or set it on a short stack of books so the dotted collar sits nearer eye level.
