Description
This ceramic vase pairs bold blue and white stripes with a column of six moulded yellow lemons running up one side, bringing a cheerful burst of colour wherever it stands. The body is a tall, straight cylinder painted in broad vertical stripes, their edges soft and slightly uneven for a relaxed, painted look. The lemons stack from the base to the rim, each with a dimpled, peel-like texture, and a few carry a small green star where the stalk would be. It stands 21cm tall, 11cm wide and 11cm deep, a neat size that suits a modest bunch of stems without crowding a shelf.
We think it looks happiest wherever a little sunshine is welcome: on a kitchen windowsill, a dining table or a hallway console, or on a bedroom shelf as a bright note against plain walls. The slim opening gathers a few sprigs of dried eucalyptus, a handful of grasses or a posy of faux flowers and keeps them upright, so even a small bunch looks generous. Blue and white sits easily with natural wood, linen and white crockery, and the yellow lemons pick up any golden tones nearby. Left empty, it still works as a decorative piece on a shelf or mantelpiece.
The vase is made of ceramic with a glossy finish, and the lemons form part of the piece, so there is nothing to fit or assemble. It stands upright on its flat base on any level surface. To keep it looking bright, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe it with a damp cloth when needed, then dry it; as with any ceramic, it is best kept back from the edge of a shelf where it could be knocked. For easy styling, set it beside a bowl of real lemons on the kitchen table, or group it with plain white pieces so the stripes and the yellow fruit take centre stage.
