Province Lotus Bottle Vase

A bottle vase, 10.5 inches across and fifteen tall, in slip-cast porcelain with a taupe lotus pattern. The narrow neck is the practical argument for the bottle form: it holds a few stems upright on its own, without a frog or a tangle of foliage to prop them. Taupe rather than cobalt means the pattern works against wood and stone in a room with no blue in it. Handcrafted, so each piece varies slightly in size and colour. From the Province collection.
