Description
This stoneware vase pairs Winnie the Pooh with soft stripes of pink and cream, and a column of six raised red strawberries runs down one side. On the front, Pooh floats along beneath a bright red balloon, while near the base a little pink pig rides on the back of a grey donkey, both drawn in a gentle storybook style. The back is left plain, so the stripes and strawberries carry that side on their own. It stands 17.5cm tall, 11.5cm wide and 9.7cm deep, a size that holds a generous handful of stems without crowding a table.
We think it looks happiest on a kitchen or dining table, a dresser or a sunny windowsill, where a bunch of yellow blooms picks up the colour of Pooh himself. It sits just as well on a bedroom shelf or a hallway console, and it is cheerful enough to stand empty as a decorative piece between bunches. A florist's bunch, a few garden cuttings or a handful of dried grasses all sit comfortably in it, and the pink stripes flatter most spring and summer colours. It brings a little storybook warmth to an everyday corner without ever feeling fussy.
The body is stoneware with a smooth glazed finish and a cream interior, and the strawberries are modelled in relief, each with green leaves and tiny pale seeds. To keep it looking its best, dust the outside with a soft dry cloth, wipe it over with a damp cloth when needed and rinse the inside by hand, drying it before you put it away. The strawberries stand proud of the surface, so lift it by the body rather than by the fruit. Set it beside a plain cream jug and let the pink and red do the work, or wrap it in tissue as a cheerful present.
