Description
This little ceramic bud vase carries a gentle message in fine grey script: "Pick of the bunch". Beneath the words sit three slender floral illustrations, each a single stem drawn in soft grey line, so the decoration looks light and sketched rather than busy. The vase is a neat bottle shape, with rounded shoulders rising to a short neck and a rolled lip, and it is finished in an off white glaze that keeps it calm and easy to place. It stands 10cm tall and 4cm across, which suits a single stem, a sprig of greenery or a few dried flowers. The wording and flowers sit on the front and the back is left plain, so you can turn it to show the message or keep it simple.
Because it is so small, this bud vase fits where a full-sized vase would crowd the space: a kitchen windowsill, a bedside table, a bathroom shelf, a desk or a gap between books on a shelf. Set beside other small pieces in off white and natural tones, it adds a quiet floral note without taking over the room. It also makes a thoughtful small gift, the kind of thing you hand over with a few stems from the garden, and the printed words say the rest for you.
The vase is made of ceramic with a glazed finish, which gives it a smooth, softly glossy surface that is easy to look after. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it over with a damp cloth when it needs more and dry it before putting it back. As with any small ceramic piece, set it on a level surface where it will not be knocked. For styling, we like it with one tall stem of rosemary or a dried grass to echo the illustrations, or with a short posy for the dining table.
