Looking for vessels that will attract compliments this Christmas? Elevate your seasonal arrangements with six of our favourite statement vases 

 

H2: 1. Henley Pot

A new addition to The Suffolk Nest collection, our Henley Pot is the perfect shape and size to display in smaller spaces like a sideboard, bedside table, or shelving unit. A rustic design, its soft sage tones are ideal for this time of year, balancing cool shades with the warmth of its exposed terracotta undertones, and I love the way it looks with frostbitten winter stems like the grey-green leaves of our Faux Eucalyptus Bush and the delicate beauty of our Faux Winter Lace Flower.

H2: 2. Helmingham Vase

Another vase making its debut in our collection just in time for Christmas, our Helmingham Vase is a standout piece that would look equally stunning displayed on its own as it does hosting a winter arrangement. A handmade piece with a classically elegant silhouette, the Helmingham is also one of the most vividly coloured vases in our selection with a warm ochre glaze. It’s a statement, but not overpowering, shade and the rustic distressing enhances its vintage appeal. I recommend styling for the festive season with similarly distinctive stems like our Faux Red Ilex Berry Branch or Faux Blush Eucalyptus.

H2: 3. Aspall Vase

If you’re looking for a vase that will add a subtle pop of colour to your Christmas styling, our Aspall Vase would be my go-to option. It’s a charming design inspired by antique vessels, and I love using it to display arrangements on my mantlepieces, coffee tables, and sideboards. With a dark blue floral print and authentic distressing, it’s an elegant yet rustic piece, and its tapered neck is well-suited to tall stems. For Christmas, consider styling the Aspall Vase with our Faux Nordman Fir Branch, Faux Dried Poppy Spray, and Faux Cone Spray to create a traditional festive look. 

 

H2: 4. Occold Vase

A characterful choice that is perhaps more unusual for Christmas, the deep charcoal terracotta finish of our Occold Vase is reminiscent of Santa’s boots or the coal in a roaring festive fire. Each Occold Vase is handmade with unique imperfections that add to its beauty and intricate textured stripes. I really appreciate the proportions of this statement vase as they lend themselves to so many different styles of arrangement; contrast the dark tones with the lightness of our Faux White Willow or pair with the muted colours of our Faux Pussy Willow Branch.

H2: 5. Minismere Vase

For those drawn to the rich ochre of our Helmingham Vase but looking for something that’s slightly more subtle, let me introduce our Minismere Vase. This handcrafted piece is a smaller alternative with a lighter ochre hue and rustic distressing. The details on this design really make it stand out from the crowd, ranging from its curved handles to its central ribbing and circles surrounding the neck. It’s an ideal choice for our Faux White Willow, styled with abundance, or the more restrained form of our Faux Eucalyptus Bush.

 

 

H2: 6. Dunwich Pot

With its rich dark brown glaze, our Dunwich Pot is one of those vessels that perfectly suits the cold winter months, bringing warmth and sophistication all season long. Its twisted braid design and small handles add to its charm while its vintage design perfectly complements timeless Christmas décor. I enjoy pairing its deep tones with lighter faux florals like our Faux Magnolia Branch or the bright white burst of our Faux White Berry Branch.
