Handmade Irish Ceramic Bud Vase - Abbey Design
This handcrafted Irish ceramic bud vase captures the Gothic architecture of Ross Errilly Friary in County Galway. Each vase is individually hand-carved, making yours truly one-of-a-kind - like the medieval abbey ruins that inspired them.
Key Features:
- Dimensions: 8 cm W × 12 cm H (perfect tabletop size), vase opening 3.5 cm
- Hand thrown on a traditional potter's wheel for authentic craftsmanship
- Hand-carved stone and window details
- High-fired at 1200°C for exceptional strength and durability
Abbey Design bud vases bring Gothic elegance to everyday moments. The distinctive bottle shape - with its narrow neck and broader body - is perfect for single stems, wildflowers, or small seasonal arrangements.
Design Features:
- Hand-carved Gothic arches: Authentic medieval proportions with light filtering through each carved window
- Weathered stone aesthetic: Colored porcelain slip and embedded stones replicate ancient abbey walls
- Bronze glaze interior: Warm metallic glaze creates depth when light catches the arched openings
- Traditional craftsmanship: Hand-thrown on a potter's wheel, then individually carved and finished
About Handmade Variations:
Each Abbey bud vase is unique. Like the weathered stones of Ross Errilly itself, natural variations in carving depth, stone placement, and glaze application ensure no two are identical. The photos show the range of this design - your vase will be similar in style but one-of-a-kind in detail.
Perfect for desks, bedside tables, or grouped as a collection. Beautiful with fresh flowers, dried botanicals, or simply as sculptural art. Makes a thoughtful Irish gift for history lovers, new homeowners, or anyone who appreciates medieval architecture.
Care Instructions: Hand wash recommended to preserve the stone details.
Shipping: Carefully packaged for safe delivery throughout Ireland and internationally.
