Available in black or white, it is designed for contemporary Chinese styling, minimalist interiors and branch arrangements where the line of the stem matters as much as the vessel itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall size:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 21 × 21 × 16 cm \/ 8.3 × 8.3 × 6.3 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouth opening:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 10 cm \/ 3.9 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black or White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilhouette:\u003c\/strong\u003e low, wide shoulder with raised central neck and cylindrical foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e New Chinese, contemporary Asian, minimalist, wabi-sabi, Japandi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest use:\u003c\/strong\u003e dry branches, sculptural stems, low console styling, shelves, sideboards and coffee tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCraft \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vase is formed in ceramic and kiln-fired into a deliberately clean, sculptural profile. The black version has a dark, lightly textured surface that gives the form more visual weight, while the white version creates a softer, brighter effect and works especially well against dark wood or stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design relies on proportion rather than ornament. The wide shoulder gives the vase a strong horizontal presence, while the shorter height keeps it from overpowering a tabletop. A generous central opening makes it especially effective for one expressive branch or a sparse cluster of stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesign History \u0026amp; Chinese Styling Context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a contemporary form rather than a reproduction of a historical Chinese vase. Its styling logic, however, fits naturally with Chinese floral composition and scholar-style display, where the line of a branch, the relationship between object and empty space, and the balance of tall and low forms are all important visual ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of using painted motifs, the piece reduces the vessel to pure shape. That makes it especially useful in a New Chinese interior: it can sit beside traditional wood furniture, ink-inspired art or tea objects without making the room feel themed or overly decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Style It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor a New Chinese console\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the black version on medium or pale wood and add a single dry branch with an irregular silhouette. Place a low tea tray, incense object or book stack nearby and leave visible space between the objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor a light minimalist room\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the white version and place it against warm grey, beige, travertine or walnut. A dark branch creates graphic contrast while preserving the quiet palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor a coffee table\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the vase is only about 16 cm high, it can sit comfortably on a large coffee table without blocking sightlines. Use short sculptural stems, dried seed heads or a single curved branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor a shelf or alcove\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet the broad shoulder overlap visually with stacked books or a small sculpture. The horizontal profile works well where taller bottle vases feel too narrow or predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich Colour Should You Choose?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack\u003c\/strong\u003e creates a stronger silhouette and suits pale walls, limestone, cream upholstery, ash wood and dramatic modern interiors. \u003cstrong\u003eWhite\u003c\/strong\u003e is softer and more versatile in darker rooms, walnut interiors and spaces where you want the branch rather than the vase to be the strongest visual element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGift Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sculptural vase makes an easy housewarming, wedding, anniversary or design-lover gift because the shape is modern and neutral enough to work across many interiors. The black version feels graphic and architectural; the white version feels calm and understated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a soft cloth and wipe gently with a damp cloth when needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners and hard impacts. Use a felt pad beneath the base on lacquered, marble or delicate wooden surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the black and white vase the same size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Both colour options share the same approximate overall size of 21 × 21 × 16 cm with a mouth opening of about 10 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a traditional antique form?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is a contemporary sculptural ceramic vase designed to work with modern Chinese and minimalist interior styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I put in it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne or two dry branches, flowering branches, sculptural faux stems or other line-based botanicals work best. The low profile is intentionally suited to sparse arrangements rather than dense bouquets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be displayed empty?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The broad disc silhouette is designed to read as a decorative object even without flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it look best?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntry consoles, low sideboards, coffee tables, open shelves, hotel-style credenzas and quiet reading corners are all strong placements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich interior styles match it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew Chinese, contemporary Asian, Japandi, wabi-sabi, minimalist, modern rustic and gallery-like interiors all suit the simple form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ClayZenith","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":62677797961809,"sku":"CZ-VASE-DISC-BLK","price":117.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":62677797994577,"sku":"CZ-VASE-DISC-WHT","price":117.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/6297\/6849\/files\/sculptural-disc-ceramic-vase-black-03_5639348b-152d-4226-a2c6-afcb4f6bbf08.jpg?v=1789739171","url":"https:\/\/clayzenith.com\/products\/modern-chinese-sculptural-disc-ceramic-vase-black-or-white-branch-vase-21-cm","provider":"ClayZenith","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
