Rustic Double-Ear Ceramic Vase Collection – Terracotta, Wine Red & Ivory Wabi-Sabi Sculptural Vessels

A rustic ceramic vase collection with sculptural asymmetry, softened handmade-style surfaces and ear-shaped handles. The three forms move from a compact terracotta vessel to a deeper wine-red single-handle vase and a tall ivory double-ear statement piece, making the range useful for tea tables, shelves, consoles and Wabi-Sabi interiors.

Three Clearly Defined Variants

• Terracotta Single-Ear Low – 13 cm H × 12 cm L × 11 cm W: compact rounded body with one loop handle and a low pedestal foot.
• Deep Wine Red Single-Ear Tall – 16.5 cm H × 12.5 cm L × 12 cm W: taller single-handle profile with a narrow neck and fuller lower body.
• Ivory Double-Ear Tall – 25.5 cm H × 14 cm L × 12 cm W: elongated double-handle silhouette with a sculptural flared rim and raised base.

Surface & Craft Character

The softly irregular ceramic surfaces give each vessel a tactile, weathered character rather than a perfectly uniform factory-polished look. Gentle ridges, uneven contours and softened edges emphasize the sculptural form and create the kind of material depth associated with Wabi-Sabi and contemporary artisan-inspired interiors.

How to Style It in a New Chinese Interior

Pair these vases with dark walnut, stone, aged timber, linen and neutral plaster. The Terracotta version works beautifully on a tea table or low cabinet, while the Ivory Double-Ear Tall form is strong enough for an entry console or study shelf. Use one dry branch, cotton stem, seed pod or asymmetrical botanical arrangement rather than a dense bouquet.

Wabi-Sabi & Western Styling

The earthy terracotta, wine and ivory tones also suit Wabi-Sabi, rustic-modern, Mediterranean, organic-modern and Japandi interiors. Group two different sizes together and leave one empty for a more collected, sculptural composition.

Decorative Context

Loop-handled and amphora-inspired vessel forms have appeared across ceramic traditions for centuries because handles add rhythm and silhouette even when a pot is displayed without flowers. Contemporary decorative ceramics often simplify these historic references into more abstract, asymmetrical forms, which is exactly what gives this collection its modern character.

Best Branch & Floral Pairings

• Dried cotton stems
• Bare winter branches
• Dried lotus pods
• Eucalyptus
• Small wildflowers
• Pampas and soft grasses
• Displayed empty as ceramic sculpture

Gift Guide

The compact terracotta and wine-red pieces are easy housewarming and birthday gifts, while the tall ivory double-ear vase has more visual presence for weddings, new-home celebrations and design-focused recipients.

Care

• Dust with a soft dry cloth or brush.
• Use a lightly damp cloth for marks and dry immediately.
• Avoid abrasive pads and strong cleaners.
• Lift from the body rather than pulling on the decorative handles.
• Use a felt pad beneath the base on polished furniture.
