A sculptural ceramic bud vase by Catto Studio x Mariette Groen, shaped like a small gourd and adorned with a trailing branch of lemons. Finished in a soft off-white glaze with hand-painted yellow fruit and dark stems, it feels both playful and quietly grounded—an object that brings a little sun to a shelf, table, or windowsill.
Designed for a single stem or a few delicate blooms, the narrow opening keeps arrangements intentional and restrained.
WHY IT’S SPECIAL
Each vase is handbuilt and decorated by Mariette Groen, with subtle variations in form, glaze, and lemon detailing that make every piece unique. The lemon motif—recurring in her work—adds a note of warmth and optimism, while the tactile surface and organic proportions keep it firmly rooted in craft rather than ornament.
It’s as much a small sculpture as it is a functional vase.
