Finding the Right Vases-vessels for You
For thousands of years, vases and vessels have had meaningful functional value in civilizations all over the world. In Ancient Greece, ceramic vessels were used for transporting water and dry goods, holding bouquets of flowers, for storage and more. Outside of utilitarian use, in cities such as Athens, vases were a medium for artistic expression — pottery was a canvas for artists to illustrate their cultures’ unique people, beliefs and more. And pottery skills were handed down from fathers to sons.
Every antique and vintage vase and vessel, from decorative Italian urns to French 19th-century Louis XVI–style lidded vases, carries with it a rich, layered story.
On 1stDibs, there is a vast array of vases and vessels in a variety of colors, sizes and shapes. Our collection features vessels made from delicate materials such as ceramic and glass as well as durable materials like rustproof metals and stone.
A contemporary vase can help introduce an air of elegance to your minimalist space while an antique Chinese jar would make a luxurious addition to an Asian-inspired interior. Alternatively, if you’re looking for a statement piece, consider an Art Deco vase crafted by Italian architect and furniture designer Gio Ponti.
Vases and vessels — be they handmade pots, handblown glass wine bottles or otherwise — are versatile, practical decorative objects, and no matter your particular design preferences, furniture style or color scheme, they can add beauty and warmth to any home. Find yours on 1stDibs today.
Questions About Ceramic Shell Vases
- What are ceramic vases used for?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Today, ceramic vases are often decorative in nature, but in history ceramic vases or containers were used throughout the day in many different ways. They were for storage, transport, mixing items, serving food and drinks, storing cosmetics and perfume and they were used as gifts to the gods. Shop iconic vintage and contemporary ceramic vases from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024The difference between porcelain and ceramic vases is that the former is made of a specific type of material, while the latter is a broader category. Ceramic vases are vessels made of clay that have been hardened by heat. Porcelain is one type of ceramic. Fashioned out of kaolin clay that gets fired at high temperatures, porcelain is a durable material with a whitish, translucent appearance when unadorned. Find a large selection of porcelain vases and other ceramic vases on 1stDibs.
