Description
This is a barrel-shaped decorative vase with a handcrafted feel, standing 26cm tall and 18cm wide. The rounded body is finished in a rustic cross-hatch clay texture that gives a woven, tactile surface across the whole piece. A generous loop handle sits to one side, adding balance to the tall neck and rounded base. Formed over lightweight iron and coated in a papier-mâché finish, it weighs around 1kg and carries a soft cream tone throughout. Please note it is not water tight and is intended for decorative use only.
We think this vase suits homes leaning towards organic, textural and pared-back styling. The neutral cream shade works against warm plaster walls, oak sideboards and linen soft furnishings, while the raw finish brings warmth to a minimalist shelf or console. Group it with our Teardrop vase for a relaxed, layered arrangement, or let it stand alone on a mantel or dining table as a quiet focal point. Fill it with dried grasses, pampas or faux stems to keep in line with its decorative nature. It sits happily in a hallway, living room or bedroom corner where its handmade character can be seen.
The vase is built on an iron frame for structure, then covered in a papier-mâché layer that creates the rough cross-hatch surface and matt cream colour. Because each piece is finished by hand, small variations in texture and tone are part of its character rather than faults. To care for it, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth to lift dust and avoid soaking, submerging or filling with water, as the finish is not waterproof. Keep it away from damp areas and standing moisture to protect the surface, and handle by the body rather than the handle alone when moving it.
