To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks - perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style - works wonders. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). The functional value of vases is well known. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes - loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.
Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Like sculptures or paintings, vases are considered works of fine art. Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic.
