Description
Design & Inspiration
There is a moment — when afternoon light grazes the surface of this vase — that the navy blue florals seem to breathe. Peonies unfurl across the ivory glaze, trailing stems of chrysanthemum and delicate bell-flower clusters in an all-over chinoiserie composition that recalls the great European fascination with Eastern ceramics during the Rococo era. This handcrafted ceramic vase from Brass & Wood is a faithful tribute to that golden intersection of East and West, where the decorative arts reached a zenith of refined exuberance.
Materials & Craftsmanship
The vase body is formed from fine ceramic, its ivory ground achieved through a layered glazing process that lends warmth and depth to the surface. Each navy blue motif — peony, chrysanthemum, morning glory, and trailing vine — is rendered with the precision of traditional underglaze painting, a technique rooted in the great Delftware and Meissen traditions. The flared neck is crowned by a hand-finished rim in gilded detail, its egg-and-dart profile lending a distinctly Neoclassical counterpoint to the Rococo body. Below, the vase seats on a separately cast brass base of remarkable quality: bold acanthus-leaf scrollwork curves outward on four feet, each element hand-chased to reveal crisp relief. The base finish is selectable across Gold, Antique Gold, and Silver variants, allowing the piece to harmonise with a range of interior palettes.
Dimensions & Details
Weighing 4 kg, this vase possesses the satisfying visual weight of a true centrepiece. The substantial ceramic body paired with the cast brass base ensures stability while commanding presence on a console table, sideboard, or reception mantelpiece. The brass base requires minimal assembly — simply securing the vase onto the base — with no tools needed. As a configurable product, the brass finish may be selected to complement your existing hardware and furnishings.
Handcrafted in Egypt
Every piece bearing the Brass & Wood name is produced in Egypt by skilled artisans who have spent years mastering both the ceramic painter's discipline and the brass founder's craft. The chinoiserie floral pattern is applied by hand, ensuring that no two pieces are entirely identical — each carries the subtle signature of its maker. This is luxury home décor in the truest sense: not mass-produced, but made with intention, patience, and pride. Custom colour combinations and brass finish options are available on request, making this vase a genuinely personalised statement for the discerning collector.
