This ceramic vase brings nautical decor to a room without a single rope or anchor cliché. Buoys and lifesavers ring a straight column form, hand-painted in one rich color on a cream ground, so it reads coastal from across the room and hand-made up close. Five colorways cover more than the expected blue: pink cadillac, harvest orange, vintage blue jeans, christmas pine, and ruby red, which is what lets it move from a summer house to a Christmas mantel without looking out of season.
Perfect for: coastal and lake house decor, hostess gifts, housewarming gifts, summer entertaining, mantel styling, and Fourth of July tables.
At 9 inches tall with a 4 inch opening, it is sized for a short market bunch, hydrangea, or a few branches, rather than long-stemmed roses that would need a taller neck.
Set it beside the seafood cookbook vase for a coastal shelf with two different silhouettes.
