Description
Our Vinia vase is a multicoloured stoneware piece, painted by hand with one large flower, its stem and two long leaves running up the front. The top edge rises to follow the outline of the bloom, so the vase reads as part picture, part vessel. A striped border with a row of painted triangles runs down one side, and a second band of stripes crosses the base. It is 23.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 23cm tall: about as long as it is tall, yet narrow from front to back. At 1.41KG it has a solid, reassuring weight in the hand.
Because it is so slim from front to back, it fits where a rounder vase would crowd things: a narrow shelf, a windowsill, the back of a sideboard or the corner of a desk. The opening along the top suits a few stems rather than a full bunch, and a single bold bloom or a sprig of leaves lets the painted flower stay the star. It is just as good left empty, standing like a small painting on a mantelpiece or a bookcase. The pattern is cheerful and graphic, so it sits happily in a bright living room, a home office or a hallway that needs a lift, and it makes a thoughtful present for anyone who loves hand-painted pieces.
The vase is made entirely of stoneware, a dense, hard-wearing ceramic fired at high temperature, and every motif is painted by hand, so the brushstrokes stay visible in the paint. It is not dishwasher safe, so clean it gently by hand instead. For styling, let it stand facing the room against a plain wall, where the painted flower can be seen in full, and add one long, leafy stem that leans out to echo the painted leaves.

Frequently Asked
What is the Vinia vase made of?
It is made entirely of stoneware, a dense ceramic, and the flower, stripes and triangles are all painted by hand.
How big is the vase?
It is 23.5cm long, 7.5cm wide and 23cm tall, so it is slim enough for a narrow shelf or a windowsill.
Can it go in the dishwasher?
No. The maker states that it is not dishwasher safe, so clean it gently by hand to look after the painted surface.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.41KG, which gives it a solid, substantial feel in the hand for a vase of this size.
Is the design painted by hand?
Yes. Every motif is painted by hand, so the brushstrokes show and the finish has the character of real handwork.
What does the top of the vase look like?
The top edge rises to follow the outline of the painted bloom, so the flower shape forms part of the vase's silhouette.
