Minio Ceramic Vase 17cm - Multi

Description

DescriptionMinio is a small ceramic vase with a face, painted by hand in multicoloured stripes. It stands 17cm tall and 7.5cm across, which makes it a bud vase: room for a few stems rather than a full bunch. The top opens into a scalloped rim like a ring of petals, and two rounded bands stack beneath it like a wrapped headdress. Below those sits a face with heavy brows, sleepy eyes, a raised nose, full lips and a little round ear at each side. The foot widens into a striped skirt, so the whole piece reads like a small figure keeping watch over the room.
At this size it settles happily on a windowsill, a bookshelf, a mantelpiece or the corner of a desk, in a living room, hallway or bedroom. At 0.22KG it is light enough to move from shelf to shelf whenever the mood takes you. A few dried grasses or seed heads suit the petal rim and keep the face in view. Inverted, it becomes a candle holder: the striped base end takes a slim dinner candle, so the same piece serves as a vase one day and a candle holder at dinner the next. It suits anyone who likes a little humour among their things, and it makes a cheerful present for a friend setting up a first home.
It is made from 100% dolomite ceramic and finished by hand painting, which gives the stripes, brows and lips the soft, slightly uneven line of a brush rather than the crisp edge of a print. The surface has a gentle sheen that catches window light. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, set it beside plain pieces in wood, glass or linen so the face is what people notice first, or stand it on the dinner table with a slim candle for an evening with friends.
