Description
Our large olpe vase takes its shape from the classic pouring jug, with a rounded body that narrows towards a tapered neck and a gently flared lip. Standing at 44cm tall and 27cm wide, it holds a generous presence on a sideboard, hallway console or floor. The ceramic body carries a soft white finish with the subtle surface variation you expect from a fired glaze, so each vase reads as a made object rather than something flat and uniform. The full curve at the base gives it stability and a grounded feel.
The scale suits tall stems and larger arrangements, so pampas grass, dried palm, eucalyptus or long branches sit well within the neck and fan out naturally above the rim. Left empty, the vase works just as happily as a sculptural piece, its pale form catching the light against a darker wall or a warm timber surface. We like it in an entrance hall, beside a fireplace or grouped with smaller vases of varying heights for a layered look. The neutral white sits comfortably alongside most palettes, from stripped-back neutrals to bolder, more colourful rooms.
For dried and faux stems no water is needed, which keeps the finish clean and consistent over time. If you prefer fresh flowers, use a slim liner inside to protect the interior. Wipe the outside with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to lift dust, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could dull the glaze. Handle with two hands when moving it, as the weight and height of a piece this size warrant care.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from fired ceramic with a soft white glaze. Small variations in the surface are part of the material and give each vase its own character.
How should I style it?
The 44cm height suits tall dried stems such as pampas or eucalyptus, or longer branches. It also holds its own left empty as a sculptural piece on a console or floor.
Is it big enough to stand on the floor?
Yes. At 44cm tall with a 27cm wide base, it is stable and substantial enough for floor use beside a fireplace or in a hallway, as well as on larger furniture.
Can I use fresh flowers in it?
It works best with dried or faux stems, but you can use fresh flowers by placing a slim waterproof liner inside to keep the interior protected.
How do I keep it clean?
Wipe the outside with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners so the glaze stays smooth and even.
