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.

Ceramics are decorative objects made out of earthen materials, such as clay. Some sculptures are made of ceramics, but ceramics can also be used to produce other types of objects, such as bowls, vases and dinnerware. Shop a wide variety of sculpture and ceramics on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between ceramics and sculpture comes down to their purpose and materials. Made out of clay, ceramics are usually functional arts, meaning they serve a purpose beyond mere decoration. Examples include vases, bowls and drinkware. Sculpture is fine art. Sculptors use a wide range of materials, such as stone, wood, clay and plaster, to produce three-dimensional pieces that communicate messages, express thoughts and emotions or tell stories. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of ceramics and sculptures.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between sculpture clay and ceramic clay is composition. Sculpture clay usually involves synthetic polymers that make it easy to work into highly complex shapes. Although there are various types of ceramic clay, it generally is a mix of kaolin and ball clay, which are less flexible and stretchy. Due to its properties, it can be formed into more basic shapes. Find a variety of ceramics and sculptures on 1stDibs.
