Most sit around 15 to 21cm tall, and every listing gives exact measurements. Some are full and round, some slim with a flared neck, and some are open vessels with a ruffled rim. Each form is shaped individually, so there's only ever one of each.
A sculptural shape gives the glaze somewhere to go. Colour runs down curves in long streaks, pools where the form turns inward and catches a different tone on the lip or rim. On these pieces the glaze and the shape work together, which is why they hold their own on a shelf with nothing in them.
They're made in speckled white stoneware or textured grogged clay, and each listing says which. Use them for a few stems or a small arrangement, sit a small plant pot inside a vessel, or leave them empty as a centrepiece.

Art That Holds Flowers
Striking with a few stems, and just as good displayed empty on a shelf or sideboard.
Rhiannon's Own Glazes
Developed and tested in-house, then brushed on in layers, so colour runs and pools along every curve.

Want to know more about sculptural vases and vessels?
Most are around 15 to 21cm tall, but every piece is a different shape, so check each listing for its exact measurements.
The form comes first. Instead of a standard vase shape, each piece is hand-sculpted into something with its own character, like a full globe, a slim footed body with a flared neck, or a ruffled rim.
A vessel is a more open, bowl-like form, such as the ruffled-rim pieces. Some vessels are glazed inside and out, so they can hold water for flowers or have a small plant pot sit straight inside. Each listing says what that piece can do.
Not at all. Plenty of people display them empty, as sculpture on a shelf, sideboard or mantel. When you do want flowers, a few stems or a small arrangement is all they need.
It varies by piece: some are speckled white stoneware and some are a textured grogged clay, left bare at the foot. Each listing says which, and all are fired to cone 6.
Smoosh and bauble vases are made in repeatable shapes across many colourways. Sculptural pieces are one-off forms, each shaped individually, so no two are the same shape, let alone the same glaze.
