Sage Pink Bloom Vase, Cottage Sculpted Tulip Ceramic, Handmade

Handmade meadow ceramic vase — small sculptural piece hand-pinched with a sculpted pink-blossom relief, finished in soft sage-green, moss and rose-pink glaze. One of a kind, made in the Netherlands by a mother-and-son studio.

Only one exists in the world. Once it's sold, it's gone.

Like a wild strawberry tucked into a spring meadow. Soft sage and moss-green sweep across the body in dappled watercolour-like patches, while a single hand-sculpted pink bloom curls down one side — glowing in deep rose, coral and pearl. The reactive glaze pools, drips and crystallises in the kiln, leaving glassy textures and tiny lichen-like marks where the colours met.

At 14 cm tall, this is a perfect small-vase size — generous enough to hold a small bouquet of tulips, wildflowers or sweet peas, yet sculptural enough to display alone as a quiet piece of springtime.

Use it for:

✦ a tulip, peony or wildflower vase on a dining table

✦ a single-stem bud vase for a rose or sweet pea

✦ a cottage-core, cottagecore or shabby-chic decor accent on a windowsill

✦ a standalone sculptural object on a bedside table or shelf

✦ a wedding-gift, housewarming, anniversary or Mother's Day thoughtful piece

Please note: as each piece is hand-shaped and the reactive glaze flows unpredictably in the kiln, dimensions, colour and pattern may vary slightly between vases. This is part of the charm of handmade work — every vase is truly unique.

— THE STORY —

We are a mother and son working side by side in a small Dutch studio. Every vase is pinched, sculpted, glazed and fired by our hands — slow, quiet, and never two alike. The reactive meadow glazes are unpredictable: they crawl, bubble and pool in the kiln, creating the wild-meadow surface you see here. We never know exactly what will come out — each piece is a small surprise.

— PACKAGING —

Wrapped with care in recycled tissue paper, packed in a sturdy box with extra cushioning for safe travel, and tied with natural twine. Every order includes a handwritten thank-you note from our studio.
