Blue-Green Ceramic Tabletop Bud Vase

Bring a distinct, glossy accent to your workspace or open shelving with a hand-thrown ceramic bud vase. The Glossy Blue-Green Ceramic Bud Vase pairs a rich, mottled sea-green glaze with an exposed, raw-clay base, providing a sturdy, small-footprint display for fresh cuttings or dried stems.

Designed with a flared silhouette that narrows at the neck before opening at the rim, this piece supports single botanical stems without taking up unnecessary surface area.

The Story Behind the Curation

• Visual Contrast: High-gloss glaze in deep blue-green tones flows down the body, stopping just above the unglazed, tactile clay foot.
• Proportional Form: Formed with a wide, grounded base and a structured collar to hold single branches or small garden blooms upright.
• Mottled Glaze Detail: Varying depths of dark navy and olive-green pool naturally across the surface during firing, ensuring no two vases share the exact same pattern.

A Note on the Visual Character

The way the glossy glaze settles over the subtle throwing ridges gives the piece a weighted, grounded look that stands comfortably on its own or alongside other studio finds.
