Encrypted checkout. We never see or store your card details.
Quiet sculptural accent
A ceramic vase that reads as a small piece of art on the desk.
Calm, clean silhouette
The minimal form brings sculptural character to a desk, shelf, or modern office interior without crowding it. An understated accent that still holds the room.
Glaze that moves
A reactive kiln finish flows through warm copper, deep teal-green, and near-black charcoal down the body. The color shifts rather than sitting flat, so it reads as art rather than decor.
Solo or as a pair
Offered in a Large and a Small. Run one as a quiet accent or pair the two for a layered, gallery-style grouping on a shelf or the corner of a desk.

Questions
Good to know before you equip.
What is the difference between the Large and the Small?
It is offered in two sizes so you can run one as a quiet solo accent or pair the two for a layered, gallery-style grouping. The listed dimensions are 32 x 13.5 x 13.5 cm (12.6 x 5.3 x 5.3 in). If you want a matched pair on a shelf or credenza, order both sizes together.
Will my vase look exactly like the photo?
No, and that is the point of a semi-handmade piece. A reactive kiln glaze means no two vases are identical, so the exact placement and depth of the copper and teal will vary from the photograph. Each one arrives a little different.
What does the glaze actually look like?
It is a flowing kiln finish that moves through warm copper, deep teal-green, and near-black charcoal. The color shifts down the body rather than sitting flat, so the vase reads as a small piece of art. The effect is subtle and changes with the light.
Can I put fresh flowers or water in it?
The vase is styled for branches, florals, shelves, and desktop styling, and it has a glazed ceramic surface. The description does not state whether it is fully watertight, so for fresh stems with water it is safest to use a slim liner or test it first. It works cleanly with dried branches and stems either way.
How do I care for the finish?
Wipe the glazed surface with a soft, dry or barely damp cloth. Skip abrasive pads and harsh cleaners so the reactive finish keeps its depth. Handle the narrow neck with care when you are styling or moving it.
Is this too delicate for a busy desk?
It is ceramic with a narrow neck, so it is best given a settled spot on a shelf, credenza, or desk corner rather than a high-traffic edge. Handle the neck with care when styling. Treated as a placed accent, it holds up as everyday decor.
Where does it suit best?
Its clean, Nordic-inspired silhouette suits home offices, reception areas, shelves, and desktop styling, and it makes a tasteful gift. The understated form works solo as a calm accent or paired across two sizes for a more layered grouping.
