A trio of small handmade ceramic vases in three coordinated glazes — bone crackle, pale blue, and light teal — coiled by hand in our Scottish workshop.
The making: Each vase is built using the coiling technique — thin ropes of white clay rolled and stacked into shape, then smoothed by hand inside and out. Bisque-fired, glazed inside and out (so they hold water for fresh stems), then fired again. The three different glazes are chosen to sit together on the same shelf without clashing.
How it looks: Three small bottle-shaped vases, all 8–10 cm tall. The first in a chalky bone with a transparent crackle glaze breaking across the surface in a fine web of lines. The second in a soft pale blue — quieter, almost dove-grey in low light. The third in a light teal that picks up the blue with a hint of green. The trio reads as a still-life rather than three matching pieces.
Use it for:
- A single stem each — a sprig of rosemary, one wildflower, a small bud
- Clustered on a kitchen windowsill or bedside shelf
- Spaced down a dining table as small individual centrepieces
- On a hallway console with one taper candle between them
- Gifted as a starter collection for someone moving into a first flat
A considered gift for a friend setting up a new home, or for someone who already has too many bigger vases and would like three small ones — housewarmings, birthdays, or simply because.
Care: Hand wash gently; empty before refilling. Watertight — safe for fresh flowers.
