Description
Our large hydria vase takes its cue from the classic water jars of the ancient world, with a rounded body that tapers gently towards a narrower neck and a wider mouth above. Standing 41cm tall and 24cm across, it has real presence as a floor or table piece, and the generous belly gives it a grounded, settled feel wherever you place it. Made from ceramic in a soft white finish, it carries the subtle weight and cool surface you would expect from a well made vase.
The white glaze catches light without glare, so the form reads clearly from across a room. Fill it with tall dried stems such as pampas, bunny tails or eucalyptus for an easy, sculptural look, or let a few branches of blossom arch out from the wide mouth. It works equally well left empty, where the shape alone does the styling. Set it on the floor beside a fireplace, in a hallway corner, or on a sideboard among books and candles. The pale tone sits happily with wood, linen and warm metals, so it suits both pared-back and layered rooms.
As one of the larger vases in our range, it is best filled with dried arrangements rather than water-heavy displays, which keeps it stable and easy to move. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth to lift dust, and use a barely damp cloth for any marks before drying. Keep it clear of hard knocks against other hard surfaces to protect the ceramic and glaze.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a smooth white glaze, giving it a solid feel and a clean, matte-to-soft surface that wears well over time.
How should I style it?
Tall dried stems like pampas or eucalyptus suit the wide mouth, or leave it empty so the rounded hydria form stands on its own.
Is it large enough to use on the floor?
Yes. At 41cm tall and 24cm wide it works as a floor vase beside a fireplace or in a hallway, as well as on a sideboard or console.
Can I put water and fresh flowers in it?
It is best suited to dried or faux stems. Keeping it dry protects the ceramic and keeps this larger vase easy to lift and move.
How do I keep it clean?
Dust with a soft, dry cloth and lift any marks with a barely damp cloth, then dry the surface to preserve the glaze.
