A handbuilt tall bubble vase in matte white — two stacked spheres rising from a narrow pedestal base, opening into a wide cup that lets flowers find their own way. At 17 inches tall with a 7-inch diameter at its widest point, this is a vase that commands a room without asking for attention.
The form is architectural and organic at once. You can see where Mariette Groen's hands have been — the surface carries the quiet marks of making, small impressions and variations in the glaze that remind you this is a singular object, not a production run. No two are exactly alike.
The wide open cup was made for branches — cherry blossom, dogwood, quince, forsythia, anything that needs space to breathe and spread. Tall grasses, dried pampas, a single dramatic stem. It holds them all with the same unhurried confidence.
A piece you buy once and keep forever.
WHY IT'S SPECIAL
- Handbuilt by ceramicist Mariette Groen of Catto Studio: each piece is made by hand in small batches — no two are identical.
- Architectural form: stacked spheres on a pedestal base, a silhouette that works in any room and with any aesthetic.
- Made for tall flowers and branches: the wide open cup and generous height make it ideal for cherry blossom, dogwood, quince, pampas, and dramatic stems.
- Matte white glaze with visible hand marks: the surface tells the story of how it was made — quietly expressive, never overworked.
- A permanent piece: designed to be lived with, not cycled out.

THE BRAND
Catto Studio is the ceramic practice of Mariette Groen — handbuilt objects that sit between utility and storytelling. Inspired by natural forms, seasonal rhythms, and the slow logic of making things by hand, each piece is meant to be lived with quietly. Not decorative in the obvious sense. More like something that belongs wherever you put it, and you can't quite imagine the room without it anymore.
