Ceramic Vases and Centerpiece Bowls

Most of the decorative vases and bowls at West Elm are crafted of ceramic stoneware or earthenware. Both types of vases are expertly shaped from clay, then high-fired for durability and finished with a matte or glossy glaze. Ceramic stoneware items are typically more durable and are watertight, allowing them to hold real plants and flowers. Ceramic earthenware items may or may not be watertight, depending on the glaze used.

Decorative Ceramic Vases

The decorative vases at West Elm come in a variety of colors and styles to suit any decor personality. Options include bright colors, like coral, yellow and turquoise, and simple neutrals, like white, black and gray. They come in bottleneck, cylinder, round and geometric styles. Fill your vases with decorative branches or blooms, then add matching ceramic planters for larger plants.

Another way to add color to your tables or bookcases is with pretty vases featuring bold patterns, like geometric prints, abstract designs, stripes and more. Some ceramic pots also use the reactive glaze technique, which creates a stunning crystallized pattern that's different on every piece. If you select one of these styles, complete your display with simple decor items like ceramic taper holders or pillar candleholders to keep the focus on your vase.

You can also fill them with holiday decor items, like glass ball ornaments or LED string lights, to add festive charm to entryway tables or coffee tables.
