What To Look For In A ceramic vase
Choosing Your Ceramic Vase
When choosing a ceramic vase, consider both form and function. Start with the size and shape—tall, narrow vases are perfect for long-stemmed flowers, while wider, rounder styles suit fuller arrangements or can stand alone as statement pieces. Pay attention to the glaze and finish: matte textures offer a modern, understated look, while glossy or patterned finishes add a touch of elegance or personality. Weight and stability are also key—especially if you plan to display fresh flowers with water. Finally, think about how the vase complements your existing décor. Whether you're after a minimalist accent or a bold centrepiece, the right ceramic vase should feel like a natural extension of your space.
Ceramic Vase FAQs
Yes, ceramic vases can hold fresh water for flowers, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Glazed ceramic vases are ideal for holding water. The glaze creates a waterproof barrier that prevents water from seeping through the ceramic material.
- Unglazed or partially glazed vases may be porous, which means they can absorb water over time. This can lead to moisture damage, water stains on surfaces, or even weakening of the vase itself.
- If you're unsure whether your vase is fully waterproof, you can test it by filling it with water and placing it on a paper towel for a few hours. If the towel stays dry, you're good to go!
For unglazed vases you love, you can still use them for fresh flowers by placing a glass or plastic liner inside to hold the water.
Yes, ceramic vases can crack or become damaged over time, but this largely depends on how they’re made and how they’re cared for. Here are a few key points:
What Can Cause Ceramic Vases to Crack or Get Damaged?
- Thermal Shock: Sudden changes in temperature (like pouring hot water into a cold vase) can cause the ceramic to crack.
- Impact or Drops: Ceramic is brittle, so even a small fall or bump can chip or break it.
- Porosity: Unglazed or low-fired ceramics may absorb moisture over time, which can weaken the structure or cause hairline cracks.
- Aging Glaze: In some cases, the glaze can develop fine cracks called crazing. This is usually cosmetic but can affect water resistance.
How to Prevent Damage:
- Always handle with care and avoid sudden temperature changes.
- Use a liner if the vase is unglazed or vintage.
- Store in a stable, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme humidity.
To keep your ceramic vase looking beautiful for years to come, handle it with care and clean it gently. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and warm water to wipe the surface—avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the glaze. If using the vase for fresh flowers, rinse it regularly and let it dry completely between uses to prevent water stains or residue buildup.
For unglazed or porous ceramics, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. Always place your vase on a stable surface, and consider using felt pads underneath to protect both the vase and your furniture.
Each vase is carefully wrapped in protective, eco-conscious packaging to ensure it arrives safely and in perfect condition.
