Swifterbant handcrafted vase with black floral motif – 18 cm

Swifterbant handcrafted vase with black floral motif – 18 cm

This handcrafted Swifterbant ceramic vase has a full, rounded body, a narrow neck and a gently flared rim. Its dark colour varies from deep brown to almost black. The integrated black design of flowers, leaves and elegant branches gives the vase a distinctive botanical character. The tone-on-tone colour scheme keeps the floral motif understated. It becomes more visible as the light moves across the surface. Glossy accents and subtle variations in colour enhance the handcrafted appearance of the ceramic. Measuring 18 cm high and 15 cm wide, the vase is suitable for a compact bouquet, a few individual flowers, dried flowers or a decorative branch. Its expressive shape also makes it an attractive object to display on a cabinet, shelf, console table or dining table without flowers.

Use and styling

The dark colour gives this vase a strong visual presence. It creates an attractive focal point among lighter materials such as linen, weathered wood, natural ceramics and matt glass. Place it on a light cabinet or table to emphasise its organic shape and floral design. For a calm arrangement, fill the vase with one sculptural branch, a few dried flowers or flowers from a single colour family. For a softer, fuller appearance, choose a compact bouquet with a variety of flower shapes. Keep part of the vase visible so that its handcrafted decoration remains an important part of the composition. The vase works beautifully in understated, country, botanical, classic and wabi-sabi interiors. Combine it with vintage or reused accessories to create a personal arrangement without adding unnecessary new decoration.

Decoration colour and interior advice

Against a light wall painted in Decoration Paint Old White, Cyprus White or Namibian Sand, the vase creates a strong contrast. Its dark shape becomes more clearly defined and the decorative surface gains visual depth. For a warm, tonal combination, pair the vase with Umber Brown, Cinque Terre or Pompeii Volcano. Olive Green or Venetian Green complements its botanical floral and leaf design. For a more expressive and contemporary setting, place the vase against Cornwall Black or Sint Helena Blue. Make sure there is sufficient daylight or use a lighter surface underneath so that the vase remains clearly visible.

Practical advice

Ceramic can be damaged by knocks or falls, so always lift the vase from underneath. Before filling it with water and fresh flowers, check that it is completely watertight. Use a coaster to protect delicate furniture surfaces if necessary.
