Description
The Vallee is a ceramic pear ornament in a matt white finish, cut into flat facets that catch the light differently on every side. A brass-coloured stem and a single leaf sit at the top, and the leaf carries fine raised veins, so it reads as a small piece of sculpture. It stands 16cm tall and 10cm in diameter, a size that sits comfortably on a shelf without crowding the books or frames around it, and at 0.12KG it is light enough to move whenever you fancy a change.
We like it on a mantelpiece, a sideboard, a dressing table or the corner of a desk, anywhere a plain surface needs one quiet object to draw the eye. The white and brass pairing sits easily with pale woods, marble, grey stone and soft neutral walls, and the faceted shape keeps it modern, so it never feels twee. It works well beside a stack of books in a living room or study, and it makes a thoughtful housewarming gift for someone who likes fruit forms without the fuss of real fruit.
The body is ceramic, with the stem and leaf finished in a brass tone that gives a warm glint against the white. Ceramic holds its colour and is easy to keep clean, so a soft, dry cloth now and then is all the care it needs. As with any ceramic piece, it can chip if knocked from a height, so give it a spot back from the edge of a shelf. It is a decorative piece for indoor rooms, and it asks for nothing more than a steady, level surface.
