{"product_id":"aurea-sculptural-ceramic-vase","title":"Aurea Sculptural Ceramic Vase","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Aurea is wider than it is tall, 19.5cm across and 17cm high, with a mouth of 8cm. That proportion is deliberate and it changes what the vase is for: a tall narrow vessel holds a bunch upright, but a broad low one lets stems splay outward and lean on the rim, which suits dried grasses, a few branches, or a single sculptural stem far better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finish is a matte neutral ceramic with no glaze sheen, so it reads as pottery rather than tableware and sits comfortably beside wood, linen and stone. Unfilled it works perfectly well as an object on a shelf or a mantelpiece, which is more than can be said for most vases, and its low centre of gravity means it is not easily knocked over. Two of them at slightly different heights on the same shelf is a more forgiving arrangement than one placed dead centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the surface is unglazed matte, it will mark more readily than a shiny vase, so wipe spills off promptly and keep it away from oils. The maker does not state whether it is watertight, so line it with a glass or plastic insert before using fresh flowers and water. Dust it with a dry cloth; do not put it in a dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17cm tall x 19.5cm wide; mouth diameter 8cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic with an unglazed matte neutral finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWatertight performance is not stated by the maker; use an insert for fresh flowers and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBest suited to dried stems, grasses and single branches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a dry cloth; not dishwasher safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from oils, which mark unglazed matte surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic chips if knocked; keep back from shelf edges and out of reach of small children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lockhone","offers":[{"title":"Matte White","offer_id":59860393460096,"sku":"LH-VST-0054","price":63.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/4737\/5232\/files\/1_9e069c64-1bed-4ca2-aadb-f4ceae211b1f.png?v=1789195638","url":"https:\/\/lockhone.com\/products\/aurea-sculptural-ceramic-vase","provider":"Lockhone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
