I’ve seen one of these vases before (well actually I own one), but I wasn’t expecting to stumble across a second one.
Why anyone took the effort to glaze vases on the inside rather than the outside I don’t know. I mean it must be a night mare to make sure none of the glaze drips [...]

I’m almost at a loss for words as to what to say about this vase!
Seriously, it’s not finished, it’s a white reasonably shaped vase with some surface decoration but they forgot to paint it! Surely the raised flower like lumps and bumps should have had some colour? What about a base coat of something other [...]

There’s something about copper that I love, the way that left outside it’ll weather and turn from a burnished red to a worn green verdigris.
Polishing the copper back to it’s original splendor just doesn’t work, by the time the weather has done it’s job the surface will be pitted and cleaning the copper just shows [...]

Roses, Roses, Roses! What is it about roses that people think a perfectly dull and boring white chunk of pottery will turn into a stunning vase by daubing a few smudged roses on the side? They’ve not even well executed, it looks like someone wearing an excess of lipstick has kissed it to make the [...]

Come on, what were they thinking, this vase is like an upside down traffic cone spray painted blue with a few random sun symbols sprinkled around.
It reminds me somehow of the seaside, except it’s the wrong blue and the suns aren’t yellow. With it’s rolled over top it looks like a drain pipe that’s gone [...]

This vase is eight inches of pottery and an inch of wickerwork and while it’s an interesting combination it’s bizaare!
Just why would you want a wicker neck to a vase? You can’t possibly pour water away when it’s time to empty it without the wickerwork getting sodden with water and leaf debris. You know what [...]

Someone must have lost their mind when they created this vase! I mean if you’re going to create a vase in the shape of a boot (and you’ve gotta be mad, as who want’s their flowers in a boot in the first place), then why choose an old smelly worn out tramps boot?
It’s not even [...]

I’m not really sure what the point of this lump of stoneware is, whether it was intended for use as a vase or something quite different I don’t know.
Regardless it’s a strange one, it’s close to being an attractive form, but it’s all lumpy bumpy and misshapen. Even the bulbous base is ridged although it’s [...]

Standing at just over a foot tall this is such a classic vase shaped vase it would be hard to go wrong. Of course it wouldn’t be featured on this website if that wasn’t exactly what had happened!
Firstly the colours, it’s flowers, but far to bright and garish, pink roses, yellow flowers that just look [...]

This is a strange one. It’s obviously very old as the glazing is crazed all over, but it has no makers marks on the base or anywhere else that I can discern.
Sadly it has the a couple of blemishes, it has the smallest of chips but on the base, so it’s hardly noticeable. In fact [...]
