Our Vases collection spans ceramic, glass, and metal, in shapes from simple bud vases to sculptural statement pieces — more useful as a styling tool than most people give it credit for.
A vase doesn't need flowers to earn its spot
Plenty of vases in this collection work as sculptural objects on their own — our metal vase styling guide covers this in more depth. Shape and material alone can carry a shelf or table without a single stem in the vase.
Grouping vases well
The same height-variation principle that works for candle holders applies here — a cluster of two or three vases at different heights, in a shared material or color family, reads as more intentional than a single vase alone or a group that's all the same size.
Matching vase to flower type
Tall, narrow vases suit single stems or a few branches. Wider vases suit fuller, rounder bouquets. Bud vases work well grouped in multiples with a single stem each, spread across a table rather than one big arrangement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all vases need to hold water for fresh flowers?
Not necessarily — some are designed primarily for dried arrangements or as standalone sculptural objects. Check the specific listing to confirm before adding water.
How many vases should I group together on a shelf?
Two or three at varying heights generally reads better than a single vase alone or four or more, which can start to look cluttered.
What vase shape works best for dried flowers or grasses?
Taller, narrower vases tend to suit dried stems and branches better than wide, round vases, which work better for fuller fresh bouquets.
Can I mix vase materials, like ceramic and glass, in the same grouping?
Yes — mixed materials can work well together as long as there's a shared color palette or overall style tying them together.
