Blue & White Floral Cylinder Ceramic Vase – Small 23 cm & Large 30 cm
Blue & White Floral Cylinder Ceramic Vase
A clean blue-and-white ceramic vase with a softly rounded cylinder silhouette and all-over botanical scroll pattern. Available in two heights, the design is simple enough for modern rooms but carries enough traditional blue-and-white character to work naturally in New Chinese, Chinoiserie, Grandmillennial and transitional interiors.

- Small: approximately H23 cm / 9.1 in, mouth about 8.5 cm.
- Large: approximately H30 cm / 11.8 in, mouth about 9 cm.
Design & Surface Character
The body is gently tapered rather than perfectly straight, giving the vase a softer silhouette from the side. A dense cobalt floral-and-vine pattern wraps around the pale ceramic ground, while the plain rim and restrained proportions keep the overall effect calm rather than ornate.
Small has a compact scale that fits shelves, bedside tables and tea cabinets. Large creates more vertical presence and is better suited to dining sideboards, entry consoles and living-room displays.
Blue-and-White Ceramic Tradition
Blue-and-white ceramics became one of the most recognisable decorative categories associated with Chinese porcelain culture. Cobalt botanical decoration spread internationally through trade and later influenced Chinoiserie, Delftware, English ceramics and modern blue-and-white interiors.
This vase is a contemporary decorative ceramic piece rather than an antique. Its appeal comes from using a familiar botanical blue-and-white vocabulary in a very straightforward form that works easily with both Asian-inspired and Western furniture.
How to Style It in a New Chinese Interior
Use one expressive branch
Place a berry branch, plum-blossom-style stem, magnolia-style branch or sparse green foliage in the vase. Keep the arrangement asymmetrical so the botanical pattern remains visible.
Pair with wood and natural materials
Dark elm, walnut and black-stained timber create strong contrast. Light oak, linen and pale stone produce a softer Japandi-adjacent interpretation while still preserving the Chinese blue-and-white character.
Use the two sizes together
Place the Large vase behind the Small one and offset them slightly. Use stems in only one vase so the pair reads as a deliberate composition rather than two identical flower containers.
Western Interior Pairing
The floral pattern also works naturally with brass lamps, rattan, cream upholstery, antique chests, patterned wallpaper and navy textiles. Small is particularly useful on layered bookshelves; Large can stand alone beside framed art or a table lamp.
Gift Guide
Small makes an easy birthday, host or housewarming gift. Large has more presence for weddings, anniversaries and milestone gifts. The classic blue-and-white palette makes either size easy to coordinate with an existing home.
Care
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth when needed and dry promptly. Avoid abrasive cleaners and hard impacts. Use felt protection beneath the base on delicate furniture.
