Description
The Wormiston is a tall ceramic vase in the shape of a bottle, with sloping shoulders that rise to a slim neck and a small opening. A glossy white glaze covers the body, and wavy brown stripes run from the neck to the base, each following its own slightly irregular line across a gently rippled surface. The sheen catches the light from a nearby window or lamp, so the stripes read clearly from across a room. It stands 37.6cm tall, 15cm long and 9.1cm wide, and weighs 1.21KG.
We like it on a sideboard, a dining table, a mantelpiece or a deep windowsill, wherever a tall, slim shape helps to break up a run of lower pieces. The narrow neck holds a single stem or a few slender ones upright, and the vase looks just as finished standing empty, so it earns its place between seasons. The white and brown pairing sits easily with natural wood, linen and stone, and with walls painted in soft neutrals, which makes it as much at home in a calm living room or bedroom as on a hallway console. As a piece of decor, it is meant for indoor rooms.
Ceramic is a dense material, and at 1.21KG the vase has a reassuring heft for its slim build, so it sits firmly on a shelf or table. The glaze is glossy and the stripes wander rather than run ruler straight, which gives the surface a relaxed, organic look up close. It needs only a flat, level surface. Before you order, check the clearance under any shelf where it will stand, because at 37.6cm tall it needs more headroom than its slim footprint suggests, especially once stems are added.
