Use your vases to make a real style statement by injecting color, texture and craftsmanship with a handmade vase, such as this playful creation by British artist and maker, Johnny Randoll. Created using the papier-mâché technique, each of Johnny's clay vessels represents the arts and crafts movement.
The places and spaces we inhabit often inform the arrangements we create. Drawing from the textures and palettes of its spectacular surroundings at Wraxall Manor, this romantic white bouquet feels as if it has been freshly foraged from an English garden. Arranged in a white ceramic vase, the florals, with their varied heights, evoke the effortless beauty of blooms from a classical walled garden.
Create a striking tablescape by pairing Cabana's Apulia Striped Amphora Vase with an animated floral arrangement that mirrors its vibrant splashes of gold and green. Arranged asymmetrically with playful, arching stems that complement the amphora's graceful curves, this display will steal and hold attention.
