Finding the Right Vases for You

Whether it’s a Chinese Han dynasty glazed ceramic wine vessel, a work of Murano glass or a hand-painted Scandinavian modern stoneware piece, a fine vase brings a piece of history into your space as much as it adds a sophisticated dynamic. 

Like sculptures or paintings, antique and vintage vases are considered works of fine art. Once offered as tributes to ancient rulers, vases continue to be gifted to heads of state today. Over time, decorative porcelain vases have become family heirlooms to be displayed prominently in our homes — loved pieces treasured from generation to generation.

The functional value of vases is well known. They were traditionally utilized as vessels for carrying dry goods or liquids, so some have handles and feature an opening at the top (where they flare back out). While artists have explored wildly sculptural alternatives over time, the most conventional vase shape is characterized by a bulbous base and a body with shoulders where the form curves inward.

Owing to their intrinsic functionality, vases are quite possibly versatile in ways few other art forms can match. They’re typically taller than they are wide. Some have a neck that offers height and is ideal for the stems of cut flowers. To pair with your mid-century modern decor, the right vase will be an elegant receptacle for leafy snake plants on your teak dining table, or, in the case of welcoming guests on your doorstep, a large ceramic floor vase for long tree branches or sticks — perhaps one crafted in the Art Nouveau style — works wonders.

Interior designers include vases of every type, size and style in their projects — be the canvas indoors or outdoors — often introducing a splash of color and a range of textures to an entryway or merely calling attention to nature’s asymmetries by bringing more organically shaped decorative objects into a home.

On 1stDibs, you can browse our collection of vases by material, including ceramic, glass, porcelain and more. Sizes range from tiny bud vases to massive statement pieces and every size in between.

Questions About Black And White Vases
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    There are many different styles of pottery that use blue and white in their designs. The most popular blue and white porcelain from China is known as Qinghua.

    Black and white photography refers to imagery that only consists of different tones of grey. The unique and timeless quality of a black and white photograph accentuates any room.

  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    White, or colorless, diamonds are generally the most valuable diamond variety. Black diamonds are certainly more rare than white ones, but the latter is generally more expensive.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021
    A good black and white photo is about telling a story, highlighting a subject, and expressing emotions, without the distraction of colors.

    A black and white photo is usually just called exactly that. The unique and timeless quality of a black and white photograph accentuates any room. When we look at black and white photography, we experience deep, rich shadows and tonal properties in a way that transfixes us. Composition and textures are crisp and engaging. You can find a variety of black and white photography by renowned photographers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    A black and white drawing is frequently called exactly that — a black and white drawing. A drawing or painting that is referred to as monochrome or monochromatic means that it has been created using only one color (this means that a black and white drawing may be referred to as monochromatic). Shop a collection of antique, vintage and contemporary black and white drawings from some of the world’s top dealers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The best frame for a black and white photo is really a matter of preference. Some may suggest choosing a frame color that matches a shade in an image while others suggest a bolder colored frame for a dramatic effect. Shop frames on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    The artist known for the black-and-white optical illusion art called Movement in Squares is Bridget Riley. Riley states that she draws inspiration for her spectacular abstractions expressed in paintings and prints largely from nature, which she defines as a “dynamism of visual forces — an event rather than an appearance.” The British artist produced her iconic piece, Movement in Squares, in 1961. Find a wide range of Bridget Riley art on 1stDibs.
