Description
This large ceramic vase takes the form of a tall olpe, the classic jug-like silhouette with a rounded body that narrows towards a slender neck. Standing 37cm high and measuring 18cm across, it has real presence on a shelf, sideboard or floor without needing anything inside it. The blue glaze catches the light across the curved surface, shifting from deeper tones in the shadows to brighter notes where the ceramic swells outward. The finish is smooth and even, with the gentle irregularities you would expect from a fired ceramic piece.
We find this vase works well in rooms that want a bit of colour and height. It suits a hallway console, a mantelpiece or a dining table, and its scale means it holds its own alongside books, lamps and framed prints. Filled with tall dried grasses, eucalyptus or a loose armful of seasonal stems, it lets the flowers spill naturally over the neck. Left empty, the shape and blue glaze carry it as a piece in their own right, so you need not always find something to put in it. Group it with smaller vases for a layered look, or let it stand alone.
Ceramic is sturdy and easy to look after. Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth, and rinse the interior with warm water after using fresh stems to keep the inside clean. Avoid harsh abrasives that could dull the glaze, and set it on a level surface given its height. With reasonable care it will serve for years across changing seasons.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made from?
It is made from fired ceramic with a blue glaze. The surface is smooth to the touch, and small variations in the finish are natural to ceramic vases.
Where does this vase suit best?
Its 37cm height makes it a good fit for a console table, mantelpiece, sideboard or floor corner. It pairs well with smaller vases for a grouped display.
Can I use it with fresh flowers?
Yes. The tall olpe form holds long stems and dried arrangements comfortably, and it looks equally good left empty as a decorative piece.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and rinse the inside with warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners so the glaze stays bright.
Is it stable given the height?
The rounded lower body gives it a steady base. Place it on a level surface for the best stability.
