Black Vases

More about Black Vases

When we look at this selection of black vases we’re instantly transported to the black-figure pottery of ancient Greece. Thousands of years ago, talented artisans made stunning ceramics through the dramatic use of inky textures, ceramics that are now the treasures of museums the world over. So when you pick out a beautiful vase from this selection, know that you’re getting a place in a long line of clued-in trendsetters who know the beauty of the darkness.

With this classicism in mind, we have to suggest using these vases as water pitchers. Place one next to your terracotta planters to make watering your home greenhouse a breeze—and create a stunning contrast between the glowing umber of the pots and the pitch dark vase. To really get in touch with your inner Athenian try adding a small bronze bust or sculpture to this mythic scene. Pale ink paintings also complement these vases, as do dreamy black and white photography art prints.

You can keep things firmly situated in the 21st century, of course. Just think of how good these pieces will look with contemporary furniture. A slate top side table is practically crying out for a slender onyx vase, or try one out with the comforting grey of a concrete coffee table. Want to get really wild? Accentuate the long lines of your new vase by arranging a set of tall black beeswax candles next to them. Absolutely ideal for a mysterious, romantic date night in.
