Available in Ivory White or Matte Black and in two proportions, the design combines a narrow bottle neck with a broad rectangular cutout to create a sculptural object that works beautifully with or without flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose Your Size \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIvory White — Low:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately W29 × H33 cm \/ 11.4 × 13 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIvory White — Tall:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately W20.5 × H40.5 cm \/ 8.1 × 15.9 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black — Low:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately W29 × H33 cm \/ 11.4 × 13 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMatte Black — Tall:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately W20.5 × H40.5 cm \/ 8.1 × 15.9 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraft \u0026amp; Surface Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is formed in ceramic with a softly textured matte surface rather than a glossy finish. The broad body is opened by a large rectangular void, while the neck rises vertically from the upper edge. This contrast between weight and emptiness gives the piece its architectural character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIvory White brings out the subtle surface texture and works especially well in warm neutral rooms. Matte Black turns the vase into a stronger silhouette, ideal against pale plaster, limestone, cream upholstery or light timber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign History \u0026amp; Chinese Aesthetic Context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a contemporary sculptural vase rather than a reproduction of a historic Chinese vessel. Its connection to New Chinese styling comes through the relationship between solid form and empty space. In Chinese painting, garden design and scholar-room composition, emptiness is not treated as unused space; it helps shape rhythm, balance and focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hollow centre gives that idea a modern architectural expression. Instead of decorating the surface with traditional motifs, the vase uses the void itself as the visual feature. This makes it particularly effective in New Chinese interiors that combine traditional spatial principles with contemporary furniture and minimal decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It in a New Chinese Interior\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse the cutout as part of the composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not hide the opening behind other objects. Position the vase so the central void frames a wall, artwork, branch or patch of negative space behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePair Low and Tall together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe strongest arrangement is a two-vase composition with the Low form slightly forward and the Tall form behind it. Use flowers in only one vase so the second piece remains a pure sculptural object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCombine with dark wood and stone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIvory White looks especially refined on walnut, dark elm, smoked oak and black-stained furniture. Matte Black works beautifully on travertine, pale limestone, light oak and cream lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKeep the botanical line simple\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse one or two long stems, dried branches, magnolia-style flowers or minimalist artificial botanicals. A dense bouquet can overpower the geometric opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eModern, Japandi \u0026amp; Wabi-Sabi Styling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a warm minimalist or Japandi room, place the Ivory White vase against beige, mushroom, taupe or limewash walls. Add linen, pale wood and stone nearby. For a more dramatic gallery-style interior, use Matte Black as a single high-contrast object against a light wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLow vs Tall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLow\u003c\/strong\u003e is wider and more grounded, making it ideal for dining sideboards, media consoles and large shelves. \u003cstrong\u003eTall\u003c\/strong\u003e creates stronger vertical movement and works especially well at the end of a console, on a pedestal or beside a framed artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGift Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vase makes a distinctive housewarming, wedding, anniversary or design-lover gift. Ivory White is the easiest option for neutral interiors, while Matte Black suits modern and architectural homes. Low is the safer all-purpose size; Tall is the stronger statement piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft dry cloth. Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed and dry promptly. Avoid abrasive pads, harsh chemicals and impacts around the cutout edges. Use felt protection beneath the base on delicate furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow measures approximately 29 cm wide × 33 cm high. Tall measures approximately 20.5 cm wide × 40.5 cm high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre both sizes available in black and white?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both Low and Tall are available in Ivory White and Matte Black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the vase be displayed without flowers?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The hollow centre and architectural silhouette are designed to function as sculptural decor even when empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size is best for a sideboard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLow is usually the easiest choice for a sideboard because its wider profile feels grounded. Tall works well at one end of a long console where you want vertical emphasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich colour is easiest to style?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIvory White is the most versatile with warm neutrals, Japandi and New Chinese interiors. Matte Black creates a stronger contrast and works especially well with pale stone or light wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a traditional Chinese vase?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a contemporary ceramic design. Its relevance to New Chinese interiors comes from the use of negative space, balanced asymmetry and restrained botanical styling rather than historical ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat flowers work best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse one or two sculptural stems, dried branches, faux magnolia, long-stemmed flowers or minimalist foliage. Keep the arrangement sparse so the cutout remains visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I pair the Low and Tall forms?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The two proportions were made to work well as a layered pair. Offset them slightly and use stems in only one piece for the strongest composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I style it in a Chinese-inspired room?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace it on dark wood or stone, add one low tea or incense object nearby, keep the stems asymmetrical and leave generous empty space around the grouping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the vase feel architectural?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe large rectangular opening, long vertical neck and simplified geometry make the piece read more like a small sculpture or architectural model than a conventional rounded flower vase.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClayZenith","offers":[{"title":"Ivory White \/ Low — 29 × 33 cm","offer_id":62678731391057,"sku":"CZ-HOLLOW-WHT-LW","price":156.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Ivory White \/ Tall — 20.5 × 40.5 cm","offer_id":62678731423825,"sku":"CZ-HOLLOW-WHT-TL","price":182.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ Low — 29 × 33 cm","offer_id":62678731456593,"sku":"CZ-HOLLOW-BLK-LW","price":156.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Matte Black \/ Tall — 20.5 × 40.5 cm","offer_id":62678731489361,"sku":"CZ-HOLLOW-BLK-TL","price":182.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/6297\/6849\/files\/hollow-geometric-ceramic-vase-white-pair-styled-01.jpg?v=1789745467","url":"https:\/\/clayzenith.com\/products\/architectural-hollow-ceramic-vase-black-or-ivory-white-low-tall-sculptural-forms","provider":"ClayZenith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
