Description
This small ceramic jug vase brings a gentle, characterful shape to a shelf or windowsill. Modelled on a traditional olpe pitcher, it has a rounded body that tapers into a narrow neck, a softly flared lip and a single looped handle that gives it that jug silhouette. Standing 17cm tall and 14cm wide, it is a compact piece that holds its own on a mantel or tabletop without crowding the space around it. The blue glaze catches the light across its curves, with subtle tonal shifts where the finish pools and thins over the form.
As one of our smaller vases, it suits a few short stems rather than a towering arrangement. Fill it with a loose posy of seasonal cut flowers, a handful of dried grasses or a couple of foraged branches for something more relaxed. Left empty, the jug shape reads as an ornament in its own right, so it works grouped with other vases of varying heights or set alone on a kitchen dresser, bedside table or open shelving. The blue tone sits happily against neutral walls, natural wood and painted cabinetry.
The ceramic body is glazed inside and out, which keeps it watertight for fresh flowers and easy to wipe clean. Rinse the interior between arrangements and let it dry fully before storing. Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth rather than abrasive cleaners, and lift by the body rather than the handle when it is full of water to keep the piece safe.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made from?
It is made from ceramic with a blue glaze applied inside and out, giving it a smooth finish and a watertight interior suitable for fresh flowers.
How should I style it?
The jug shape suits a few short stems, a small posy or dried grasses. It also looks good empty, either alone or grouped with other vases at different heights.
Is it big enough for a bouquet?
At 17cm tall this is a small vase, so it is best for a modest handful of stems rather than a full bouquet. Trim longer flowers to keep the arrangement balanced.
How do I clean it?
Rinse the inside between arrangements and wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and dry it fully before storing away.
Can I lift it by the handle?
The handle is decorative and practical for an empty jug, but when it holds water we suggest lifting from the body to keep the piece secure.
