Vase 2 1

Not every vessel needs a theme. This is a plain-form vase from a numbered series, designed to be quietly useful rather than to be the thing visitors comment on: clean profile, unbroken wall, no applied ornament to date it to a particular year. The restraint is the point. A vase with a strong motif ends up fighting whatever you put in it, whereas a plain one steps back and lets the stems do the work. That is why forms like this stay out all year instead of being boxed away after a season. Stand two or three at staggered heights along a sideboard and they read as a deliberate set. Realistic places for it: a kitchen windowsill, a desk corner, a mantelpiece, a bathroom shelf with something dried in it. A single download, and the sort of file people return to when they want a vase rather than a project.
