Description
This medium olpe vase brings a tall, rounded profile to our range of ceramic vases, with a full-bodied shape that narrows gently towards a poured, jug-like lip. Standing 31cm high and 18cm across, it holds a generous volume without feeling heavy, and the classic olpe silhouette gives it a settled, grounded presence on any surface. The grey glaze carries subtle tonal shifts across the ceramic body, catching the light along its curves and softening into shadow where the form tapers.
We find this vase works in a variety of rooms. Set it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard or a dining table, or let it anchor a hallway console. Filled with long-stemmed blooms such as tulips, eucalyptus or dried grasses, the wide belly supports the arrangement while the narrower neck keeps stems upright and gathered. Left empty, it holds its own as a sculptural piece, its shape and grey finish enough to fill a quiet corner or shelf. Group it with smaller vases for a layered display, or keep it solitary for a calmer look.
The ceramic construction is sturdy and easy to live with. Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth to keep the surface clean, and rinse the interior after use with fresh flowers. Empty any standing water fully before storing to protect the glaze. A felt pad or coaster underneath will guard wooden furniture from scratches. With a little care this vase stays a dependable part of your home for years, adapting to seasonal stems or standing bare between arrangements.

Frequently Asked
What is this vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a grey glaze. The finish shows gentle tonal variation across the surface, which is part of the material's natural character.
How should I style it?
The wide body and narrower neck suit long-stemmed flowers, foliage and dried stems, keeping them upright and gathered. It also looks well left empty as a standalone piece on a shelf, console or table.
Will it hold larger arrangements?
At 31cm high and 18cm wide, it takes a fairly generous bunch. The full belly supports the stems while the tapered top holds them in place, so it manages both loose and structured displays.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft, damp cloth. Rinse the inside after use with fresh flowers, and empty all standing water before storing to keep the glaze in good condition.
Will it mark my furniture?
We suggest placing a felt pad or coaster underneath to protect wooden surfaces from scratches and any moisture at the base.
