Teide Metal Floor Vase with Handles – Black

The Teide is a tall metal floor vase that draws on the shape of old amphora and storage vessels. Standing 510mm high, it has a broad shouldered body that tapers to a narrow foot, topped with a short collar neck and two looped handles that give it a hardworking, utilitarian feel. It is a piece with real presence, made to stand on the floor rather than sit on a shelf.

Its two tone finish is the main draw. The upper half wears a deep black with a chalky, weathered texture, fading into a warm rust brown across the lower body. Scuffs and tonal variation run through the surface, so each vase reads as something aged and handled rather than freshly made. The rough, matte finish catches light softly and pairs well with earthy, rustic and pared back interiors.

Use it empty as a floor standing sculpture in a hallway or living room corner, or fill it with tall dried grasses, pampas or bare branches for height and drama. The metal build keeps it sturdy underfoot, while the handles make it easy to reposition when you rearrange a room.

What is this vase made from?

It is made from metal with a weathered, two tone painted finish that runs from black at the top to rust brown at the base.

Can I put fresh flowers with water in it?

We recommend using a separate waterproof liner or inner container for fresh stems, as the metal is best suited to dried arrangements or use as a decorative floor piece.

How tall is it?

It stands 510mm high, with a body width of 355mm, making it a floor standing vase rather than a tabletop one.

What should I fill it with?

Tall dried grasses, pampas, eucalyptus or bare branches work beautifully, or leave it empty as a sculptural feature.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the surface with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or scrubbing, which can mark the weathered finish.
