Description
Our Penn vase is a fluted stoneware vase in yellow, 29cm tall and 25.5cm across, with a scalloped rim that opens out like the edge of a petal. The body is formed from soft, rounded flutes that narrow towards the foot, so the vase flares gently as it rises. A speckled glaze covers most of it, scattered with paler, cloudy patches, and gives way to a plain, earthier band around the base. Stoneware is a dense, hard-fired clay, and at this size it is a full-sized vase for a generous arrangement rather than a single stem.
The wide mouth suits loose, airy arrangements: a few tall branches of berries, a bunch of garden flowers left to fall naturally over the scalloped edge, or a small potted plant. It sits well on a deep window sill, a dining table or a sideboard, and in a living room or hallway the yellow brings warmth to plain walls and natural wood. It works through the year, from spring blossom to autumn branches, and it is a thoughtful housewarming gift for anyone who likes a relaxed, earthy look in their home.
It is made entirely of stoneware, and the maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the speckling and paler patches will vary a little from one vase to the next. At 2.69KG it is a substantial piece, so give it a sturdy surface with room to spare. For styling, let the flutes do the work: keep the stems simple and a little uneven in height, and stand the vase beside a short stack of old books or a plain bowl so its shape and glaze stay the focus.

It is 29cm tall and 25.5cm across, a full-sized vase that takes a generous bunch of flowers or several long branches.
What is the vase made of?
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense, hard-fired clay, and it is finished with a speckled yellow glaze.

Not exactly. The maker notes that, due to the nature of the glaze, colour variations may occur, so the speckling and patches differ a little between vases.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 2.69KG, so it is a substantial piece, and a sturdy shelf, table or wide window sill suits it best.
