Handmade Green Leaf Stem Bud Vase
This green, ceramic bud vase is handmade by me in my garden studio in Derbyshire. I threw it on the potter’s wheel using stoneware clay, then decorated it with a simple leaf stem design inspired by the hedgerows near my home.
The vase is finished inside and out with a glossy clear glaze so it’s watertight and durable. The base is flat and stamped with my maker’s mark.
The narrow neck opening is just right for a few thin stems, like sweet peas, lavender, or a small posy freshly picked from the garden. For an everlasting and unique floral display, you could add some of my handmade ceramic flowers.
To create the surface design, I cut the leaf shapes from paper and apply them to the damp clay. I then brush over several layers of green slip and gently peel the paper away to reveal the soft white clay beneath. It’s a bit fiddly, I use tiny scissors, but one of my favourite parts of the process. I love combining nature-inspired shapes with simple pattern.

Packaging:
Your vase will be wrapped in tissue paper first, then carefully packed using recyclable materials wherever possible. I never buy plastic packaging or tapes. Any plastic based packaging in your parcel is being reused, I’m trying to keep as plastic-free as possible.
