Reactive Glaze Textured Ceramic Bottle Vase 28cm - Grey

This ceramic bottle vase pairs a soft grey reactive glaze with a cream neck, bringing a calm note to a shelf or side table. It stands 28cm tall and 13cm across, with rounded shoulders that narrow to a short neck above a straight, generous body. The glaze falls in bands: a creamy top, a wide textured band of pale blue-grey where the reactive glaze has settled into a speckled, frosted surface, and a smooth grey band around the base. It is a simple shape that lets the glaze do the talking.

The short neck holds a loose handful of stems upright, so a few tulips, a sprig of greenery or a bunch of dried grasses will sit neatly without much arranging. At 28cm tall it suits a mantelpiece, a hallway console, a dining table or a bedside, and it looks just as good on its own between books on a shelf. The soft grey and cream tones settle easily alongside natural wood, linen and white walls. We think it makes a thoughtful new home gift, one that fits almost any room in a first flat or a family house.

It is made from ceramic with a reactive glaze finish, and it stands upright on its own base, so it needs no stand or holder. Dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe the outside with a damp cloth when needed. With fresh flowers, change the water every few days and rinse the inside by hand before refilling. As a gift, add a few stems from the garden or the market and tie a ribbon around the neck; it needs nothing more.
