Sylvie Favorite

Ah, the French branch vase, the kind of piece that makes even an empty tabletop look intentional. Traditionally used to cool water, cider, or table wine, these stoneware vessels were salt-fired, a process where salt was introduced into the kiln at high temperatures, creating a natural glaze with a softly speckled surface and subtle sheen. Today, we love it as a simple vessel for a budding branch or a single flower, letting the sculptural shape of the ceramic do all the heavy lifting. Only one available.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.
