A handbuilt ceramic vase by Catto Studio x Mariette Groen, featuring delicate floral drawings on both the front and back. The rounded pod-like body is finished in a soft off-white glaze, animated with painterly blue, green, and gold accents that feel both botanical and abstract.
Sized for small arrangements, the wide opening allows a few stems to fan naturally, while the sculptural form holds its own even when empty.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Each vase is made slowly by hand, with illustrated floral motifs applied freely rather than symmetrically—no two sides, and no two pieces, are exactly alike. The combination of drawing, glaze, and hand-applied gold gives the vase a quiet richness, somewhere between sketchbook and object.
It’s a functional vessel that reads like a small ceramic painting.
