You walk into a room and are immediately drawn to a beautifully crafted vase, while at other
times, you barely notice it.
It is not just the shape or colour that captures attention, but also the material that gives it life.
A glossy finish can bring a touch of polish, while a rough, earthy texture can make a space feel
grounded and inviting.
Once you start noticing these details, you will never look at a vase the same way again.
Read on to find the perfect piece for your home.
Why the Material of Your Vase Changes Everything?
1. PICK CERAMIC VASES FOR LASTING STRENGTH
Ceramic vases are made by firing clay at high heat and finishing them with a glaze, which makes them strong, safe for water, and long-lasting.
The glaze opens up endless options in finish, from glossy whites to muted pastels or bold patterns, which makes it highly versatile and suitable for most of the corners of your home.
The Walnut Bliss Ceramic flower vase, for example, sits perfectly whether you place it on a dining table with fresh blooms or let it shine as a clean, sculptural accent.
2. PLACE CLAY VASES FOR NATURAL WARMTH
If you are more of a nature person, go for clay vases.
Their unglazed matte surface softens a space and brings earthy warmth in a way few other materials can.
They are perfect for dried stems, bare branches, or even left empty.
A piece like the Elephant Flower Vase captures its raw appeal, making it a lovely addition to rustic or bohemian interiors.
3. SHOWCASE POTTERY VASES FOR HANDMADE CHARM
Pottery celebrates the maker’s hand.
Each piece carries textures that tell you it was shaped with care. No two are ever identical.
The Peachy Dream Botanical Pot is one such example, standing out as much for its individuality as for the craft that went into it.
A pottery vase creates a point of connection, reminding you of the story behind it.
Choose the Right Vase for Your Space
1. ALIGN THE VASE WITH YOUR ROOM’S LOOK
Decide where you would like to place the vase.
A tall ceramic vase on a console can frame a mirror beautifully, while a smaller clay piece feels natural on kitchen shelves.
Pottery, on the other hand, often shines in places where you want people to pause, like the entrance or a dining sideboard.
- Choose glazed ceramics in soft tones for modern, polished interiors.
- Add unglazed clay to bring depth into minimal and organic spaces.
- Place handmade pottery where you want to highlight character and personality.
2. MAINTAIN YOUR VASE PROPERLY
A vase should be as easy to care for as it is to admire. Each material needs a slightly different approach.
Ceramic Vases
- Clean glazed ceramic with mild soap and lukewarm water.
- Rinse well and dry with a soft cloth to avoid streaks.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracks.
Clay Vases
- Do not fill with water unless the inside is sealed.
- Use a dry microfiber cloth or soft brush to remove dust
- If stains appear, dab gently with a barely damp cloth and allow to air-dry fully.
Pottery Vases
- For sealed pottery, clean as you would ceramic.
- For textured pottery, dust with a soft brush and avoid water.
