Description
Our Trilla vase is built like a stack of simple shapes: a wide, flared cone rests on a round ball, which in turn sits on a flared foot, while a shallow collar above a thin ring forms the mouth. It is made from 100% ceramic and painted by hand in bold, multicoloured bands, each shape taking its own glossy shade, so it reads as a small sculpture before a single stem is added. At 16cm across and 26.5cm tall, it is a medium-sized vase, tall enough to give a handful of flowers real presence without towering over a table.
The narrow waist and flared top suit a loose bunch of flowers or a few dried stems, letting them fan outwards above the rim. It makes a cheerful centrepiece for a dining or kitchen table, and it is just as happy at the end of a sideboard, on a mantelpiece, on a bookshelf or raised on a low stack of books on a chest of drawers. Being so boldly multicoloured, it suits a playful, eclectic room or a bright hallway, and it is a good choice for a sunny reading corner. It also makes a thoughtful housewarming or birthday present for someone who loves colour at home.
The vase is ceramic throughout, and its bands are painted by hand rather than printed. Hand painting is never perfectly uniform, so expect slight differences in line and depth of colour from one vase to the next; that is part of its charm. It is not dishwasher, microwave or oven safe, so keep it out of all three, and as it is not approved for food, it is a piece for flowers and display only. It weighs 0.95KG. For styling, let the vase lead: keep the surroundings calm, choose a single flower variety, and pick a bloom that echoes one of its painted bands.
