There is a fabulously inventive collision of material, style and function in this eye-catching ceramic bud vase from Liang & Eimil. To all appearances it has the properties of an ordinary bottle but its square angles and opacity cast it as something quite different, almost a silhouette of itself.

The smooth black ceramic surface gives it a strength and richness that makes it a highly desirable piece on its own. When used to display a single flower stem the contrast between the delicate intricacy of the natural bloom and the almost kinetic solidity of the vase is unforgettable. Standing 60cm high it commands attention.
