Description
This set of two Southwold vases pairs a teal glaze with an exposed clay base, giving each piece an easy handmade character. The upper halves carry a soft crackle finish and gentle vertical fluting that catches the light, while the lower sections show horizontal ribbed bands in natural brown clay. Both share the same rounded, bottle-like silhouette with a slightly flared collar, though one stands taller than the other for a layered look on a shelf or sideboard.
Made from ceramic, the vases feel weighty and stable, so they hold their own whether left empty as sculptural objects or filled with dried stems and grasses. The teal tone works well against neutral walls and wooden furniture, and the two heights let you group them together or spread them across separate spots. We like the way the ribbed base adds texture without pulling attention from the glaze.
Use the pair on a mantel, dining table centrepiece or windowsill, or split them between the living room and hallway. Their organic shaping suits both rustic and modern rooms, bringing a hint of colour to a quiet corner. Each vase is a slightly different size, so you get variety in one buy.

Frequently Asked
Are these vases waterproof for fresh flowers?
The ceramic is glazed on the inside, though we recommend using a liner or testing with a small amount of water first, as the exposed clay base is porous.
What sizes are the two vases?
The larger vase measures roughly 115 x 115 x 170mm, with the second vase smaller in height to create a layered set.
How do I clean them?
Wipe the glazed surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive scourers so the crackle glaze stays intact.
Can I use them without flowers?
Yes. The rounded shapes and ribbed base look good empty as standalone decor, or you can add dried stems and grasses.
Do both vases match exactly?
They share the same teal glaze and ribbed design but differ in height, so they pair as a coordinated set rather than an identical pair.
