Description
Our small olpe vase brings a soft, rounded silhouette to any surface, taking its name from the classic pitcher form with a gently swelling body that tapers towards a narrower neck. Made from ceramic and finished in a clover green glaze, it carries a subtle depth of colour that shifts a little as the light moves across it. The proportions are compact at 23cm tall and 23cm wide, so it sits comfortably on a shelf, sideboard or windowsill without dominating the space around it.
The shape works just as well full or empty. Fill it with a loose gathering of seasonal stems, dried grasses or a few sculptural branches and the wider belly gives them room to fan out naturally, while the tapered neck helps hold everything in place. Left bare, it reads as a quiet ceramic object in its own right, ideal for a mantelpiece or a stack of books. The green tone pairs easily with natural wood, cream walls and earthy textiles, and looks especially good grouped with other vases of differing heights.
Ceramic is a practical choice for everyday use. The glazed surface wipes clean with a soft damp cloth, and any watermarks inside lift away with a rinse. We suggest emptying and drying the vase between fresh flower arrangements to keep the interior fresh, and using a coaster or felt pad underneath on delicate surfaces. Keep it away from knocks and hard edges, as with any ceramic piece, and it will hold its finish for years.

Frequently Asked
What is the vase made from?
It is made from glazed ceramic, giving it a smooth surface and a solid, weighted feel that helps it stay stable when filled with stems.
How should I style it?
Use it with loose seasonal flowers or dried grasses for a relaxed look, or leave it empty as a standalone piece. It groups well with other vases in mixed heights.
Will it suit a small space?
Yes. At 23cm tall and 23cm wide it is compact enough for a shelf, sideboard or windowsill without overwhelming the surface.
Can I use it with fresh flowers and water?
You can. The glazed interior holds water well, though we recommend emptying and drying it between arrangements to keep it fresh.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the outside with a soft damp cloth and rinse the inside to remove any watermarks. Avoid harsh abrasives that could mark the glaze.
