Description
This is a sculptural vase with a rounded teardrop body and a tall side handle that lifts the overall height. It measures 18cm wide, 18cm deep and 30cm high, so it holds its own on open shelving or a console. The body is formed in lightweight iron and coated in a papier-mache layer that gives it a raw, woven cross-hatch surface. Finished in a soft cream tone with a dark rim at the opening, it reads as handmade and quietly artisanal rather than machine-perfect.
The neutral colour and varied surface texture make this vase easy to work into layered, tonal interiors. We like it grouped with other earthy ceramics and clay pieces, or left to stand alone as a single sculptural accent. It suits a shelf, a mantel, a sideboard or a hallway table, and its rustic character pairs well with natural linen, wood and stone. For a fuller display, set it beside a rounder barrel-shaped vase in the same range so the shapes play off each other. The generous handle also gives you something to grip when moving it around.
Construction is an iron base structure wrapped in a papier-mache finish, which keeps the weight down to around 1.24kg while retaining the tactile clay-like texture. The cross-hatch effect runs across the whole body and neck, giving it its rustic, woven look. Please note this vase is not water tight and is intended for decorative use only, so keep it dry and use it with faux stems or dried botanicals. To clean, wipe gently with a dry or barely damp cloth and avoid soaking or scrubbing, as the surface finish is textured and porous. Made in India.
