This is just gross! There’s no pattern, it’s not even smooth, it was a fairly decent jug but they’ve just ruined it!
How do I even give you an idea just how foul this vase feels let alone looks? The glaze is as if it was icing on a cake which was mixed with [...]

I seem to have collected a few of these spun metal Indian vases. They’re unusual and quirky and I suspect there are many thousands of them out there.
Many are decorated with flowers, but I’ve never seen one that was plain. This is no exception except instead of the flowers it’s a more geometrical pattern with [...]

I really worry about some people, and today I’m worrying about two in particular - the person that designed this vase and the person that bought it! (In that statement I exclude myself on the grounds I only acquired it for it’s unadultarated ugliness )
It’s about twelve inches tall and about as attracive a [...]

I’m at a loss to describe this vase which comes from Spain. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out it was made from resin, but it definatly has a few chunks of stone and brick embedded in it.
At first glance it looks as though it was hollowed out from a lump of lava rock but [...]

This is a fantastic vase, and one of the few I’m close to liking. Denby of course is highly collectable, whether it be their dinner services or other products. Whether this vase actually fits into the collectible cachet I really don’t know but I’m sure there’s someone out there that would actually like it.
Sadly the [...]

There’s something almost unfinished about this vase.
It’s typical of Brentleigh Ware that the glaze gives a natural pottery look to the main body of the vase, but on this one the flowers themselves look almost as if they’re chalked on and have never been glazed. The leaves are the same, there’s no vibrancy to the [...]

There’s something surreal about this vase. Tt’s the type of blue you’d expect to see on the top of a police car with a flashing light inside it! It’s such a deep and dark blue it’s hard to find a setting where it doesn’t overpower the everything that surrounds it.
At the same time there’s [...]

Just how honest can you get? On the base of this vase it says “Made in China”, and “Hand painted China” and a Chinese china vase it is! Or I suppose it could be classed as a jug, or a pitcher, but there’s no arguing that it’s chinese china!
Hand painted it definately is, the pattern [...]

You really have to wonder about this vase, I love the deep blue base coat. I love the reds. I love the greens, Just not all together at the same time.
Someone once told me the rhyme “Blue and green should never be seen” and this vase certainly breaks that axiom. Mind you another one is [...]

I have a fairly sizable collection of vases - I have some I’m quite fond of, I have others that I actually quite like. Sadly there is nothing that could convince me that this little set have any merit whatsoever. They’re over decorated, they’re hideously painted, they’re edged with the kind of grey/silver that truly [...]
