Description
This stoneware vase is shaped as a ring of elephant heads, each with broad ears, a small tusk and a trunk that curves down to rejoin the body in an open loop. A soft pink glaze covers the heads and runs down in drips towards the foot, thinning as it goes, while the rim rises and falls in a gentle wave between the ears. It stands 15.5cm tall and 15.5cm across, so it is as wide as it is high: a compact, rounded vase rather than a tall one for long stems. At 1.05KG it is a solid, weighty piece for its size.
Its size suits a short bunch of dried grasses or a few wispy stems, which fan out above the wavy rim and leave the elephants on show. It also makes a playful cover for a small plant in its pot, such as a cactus or a succulent. Being low and rounded, it fits on a coffee table, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, and sits comfortably in front of a row of books. It suits a living room full of colour and pattern or a bright bedroom shelf, and it makes a cheerful present for anyone who collects elephants or loves pink.
It is made of 100% stoneware, a dense ceramic fired at a high temperature. The glaze has a softly speckled texture across the ears and faces and turns glossy where it pools in the folds and along the drips. Where the pink thins towards the foot, the vase's own body is visible, so the colour reads deepest at the top and lightest at the base. For styling, give it a little space on each side so the profiles of the elephants can be seen, and keep any stems loose and light so the heads stay visible.
