Fluted Bloom Ceramic Vase

A closer fit for your
everyday comfort.

HAND-THROWN STONEWARE · FLUTED RIDGES · DRIED STEM VESSEL · 2 FORMS · 3 VARIANTS Stoneware vases with vertical fluting and a torn, blooming rim — for dried stems, pampas, and bunny tails Fluted Bloom Vase is a pair of hand-thrown stoneware vessels carved with deep vertical ridges that gather into a soft, ruffled opening — like a fabric sack cinched at the neck. Sandstone-textured matte off-white finish across both forms. Tall is the upright vessel with a rounded body and pleated rim. Wide is the lower-profile version with a broader hip and a more torn, organic rim. Both accept dried stems through the ~50 mm opening — pampas grass, bunny tails, eucalyptus, dried magnolia branches, or wheat. Anchor a console table on its own, or pair the two forms for a sculptural arrangement. For dried stems only — not waterproof. The interior is unsealed stoneware. Water will seep through the body and damage the finish. Use with dried botanicals, faux florals, or as a standalone sculpture. Hand-Thrown Stoneware Each vessel is shaped on the wheel and finished by hand. Ridge depth, rim ruffle, and surface texture vary slightly between pieces. Sandstone Matte Finish Raw, unglazed stoneware texture in a clean off-white — reads as quiet, earthy luxury without aged or distressed effects. ~50 mm Bloom Opening Ruffled rim opens to a 2-inch interior — sized for medium-stem dried botanicals and small bouquets of faux florals. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Hand-throwing produces subtle variation in fluting depth, rim shape, and surface texture between pieces. Small kiln marks and tonal blooms are part of the firing process — they signal craft, not damage. Two forms, one silhouette FORM 01 · UPRIGHT Tall Rounded body rises to a pleated, ruffled rim. The vertical proportions read as elegant and quiet — a single-statement piece for entry consoles or mantels. Available in S (22 cm Ø, 28 cm tall) and L (30 cm Ø, 32 cm tall) FORM 02 · WIDE Wide Broader hip with a more torn, organic rim — feels rougher and more sculptural. Best for low surfaces seen from above (coffee tables, low consoles).

The 50 mm (~2″) ruffled opening is sized for medium-stem botanicals — pampas grass, bunny tails, dried eucalyptus, wheat stalks, dried magnolia branches, lavender bunches, or single-stem statements like a dried lotus pod. For tight bouquets, choose stems no thicker than a pencil. Faux florals work beautifully too. Can I really not put water in it? Correct — the stoneware is unglazed and unsealed, so water will seep through the body within hours and damage the matte finish. If you want to use fresh florals, place a slim glass cylinder or test tube inside as a hidden water reservoir, then arrange your stems in that. The opening is large enough to accommodate this. Which form should I choose? Tall (S or L) is the more refined, vertical silhouette — best for eye-level surfaces like mantels, entry consoles, and shelves. Wide is rougher and sculptural — best for low surfaces seen from above, like coffee tables and dining table centers. The two forms pair beautifully together for a layered tablescape. Why does mine look slightly different from the photos? Each vessel is hand-thrown and individually finished. Fluting depth, rim ruffle, and surface texture vary between pieces — that's the nature of handmade stoneware. The photos show a representative example, not the exact piece you'll receive. How do I clean it? Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush for dust trapped in the fluting. Avoid water, alcohol, and chemical cleaners — they can stain or alter the matte stoneware finish. Don't put it in a dishwasher. Sizing & questions Every piece is made to order in our own atelier — here is what most clients ask before choosing theirs. What dried stems fit the ~50 mm opening?+The 2″ ruffled opening accepts medium-stem botanicals: pampas grass, bunny tails, dried eucalyptus, wheat, dried magnolia, lavender bunches, or single-stem pieces like lotus pods. Faux florals work beautifully. Choose stems no thicker than a pencil for tight bouquets. Which size works best for my space?+Tall S (8.7″ × 11″) suits shelves and narrow consoles. Tall L (11.8″ × 12.6″) anchors entry tables or mantels. Wide (11.8″ × 13.4″) works best on low surfaces like coffee tables, seen from above, with its broader hip and organic rim. Can I put fresh flowers or water in it?+No. The stoneware is unglazed and unsealed—water seeps through the body and damages the finish. Use only dried botanicals, faux florals, or display as a standalone sculpture. Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth. Is each vase unique?+Yes. Hand-throwing on the wheel creates subtle variation in fluting depth, rim shape, and surface texture. Small kiln marks and tonal blooms from firing are part of the craft—they mark authenticity, not defects. Can I order a custom size?+Vakkerlight's atelier hand-builds vases to order.
