Most vases play it safe. They are clear, or white, or a single muted tone – designed to complement rather than contribute. The Orsina Sorrell Large Multicoloured Ceramic Vase takes a different position entirely. A generous rounded silhouette in modern stoneware, finished with a richly layered glossy glaze that shifts and blends across the surface, it is a vase that contributes to a room rather than simply occupying it. At just £25.95, it is one of the most characterful and versatile decorative objects available at any price point.
The Design: Glaze as Art
The Sorrell’s multicoloured glaze is its defining quality – and it is the kind of finish that rewards close attention. The colours shift across the surface in a way that is characteristic of high-temperature ceramic glazing: no two pieces are identical, and the depth of the glaze changes depending on the light and the angle from which you view it. The rounded silhouette is generous and confident – a form that has presence without aggression, that fills a space without dominating it. It is the kind of ceramic that serious collectors recognise as quality and casual buyers simply find beautiful, which is the best kind of design.
Five Ways to Style the Sorrell Vase
1. The Living Room Focal Point
A large ceramic vase with a distinctive glaze is one of the most effective ways to introduce colour and personality into a living room without committing to a paint colour or a new sofa. Place the Sorrell on a coffee table, a sideboard, or a mantelpiece and it immediately becomes the object the room orbits around. Its multicoloured glaze picks up and reflects the tones of the room around it, making it unusually adaptable – it works in warm, earthy interiors and in cooler, more contemporary spaces with equal ease.
2. The Eucalyptus and Dried Stem Display
The Sorrell’s rounded silhouette and generous opening make it an ideal vessel for the kind of loose, organic arrangements that define contemporary interior styling. A bundle of eucalyptus, a few stems of dried pampas grass, or a generous handful of dried lunaria arranged without fuss in the Sorrell looks effortlessly considered. The glaze provides enough visual interest that even a sparse arrangement – three stems, loosely placed – looks intentional and complete.
3. The Dining Table Centrepiece
A large ceramic vase at the centre of a dining table – filled with seasonal flowers or left beautifully empty – sets the tone for every meal. The Sorrell’s rounded form is sociable rather than imposing: it does not create a barrier across the table, and its glaze catches candlelight in a way that makes it particularly effective for evening dining. It is the centrepiece that works for a Tuesday supper and a Saturday dinner party with equal grace.
4. The Bookshelf or Sideboard Accent
On a bookshelf or sideboard, the Sorrell functions as a sculptural accent – a moment of colour and form among books, candles, and smaller objects. Its rounded silhouette provides a pleasing contrast to the vertical lines of book spines and the horizontal planes of shelves, and its glaze introduces colour in a way that is organic and considered rather than jarring. It is the object that makes a shelf look styled rather than simply full.
5. The Gift for Someone with Taste
A large, beautifully glazed ceramic vase at under £26 is a gift that communicates genuine thought. It is the kind of object that people with considered homes want but rarely buy for themselves – a piece that feels like a treat, that has a specific aesthetic point of view, and that will find a permanent place on display rather than in a cupboard. It suits birthdays, housewarmings, and any occasion where you want to give something that will be admired every day.
The Bargain Case: Why £25.95 for a Glazed Stoneware Vase Is Exceptional
Large ceramic vases with distinctive glazes from interiors boutiques, independent ceramicists, and lifestyle retailers typically start at £45–£70, with anything from a recognised ceramic artist or design brand reaching £100–£250+. The Sorrell delivers a large-format stoneware vase with a richly layered multicoloured glaze and a confident rounded form for £25.95. It is the ceramic that looks like it came from a gallery and costs like it came from a market – in the very best sense.
