Friesian Cow Flower Vase by Quail Ceramics

Description

A tall flower vase shaped like a Friesian cow — the classic black-and-white dairy cow you've seen in every English pasture. Sturdy enough for a generous market bouquet, tall enough for branches in spring or grasses in autumn.

Wide opening at the back of the form; flowers fall naturally over the animal's back.

Why it's here: Quail Ceramics has been part of our co-owner Tom's life from the very beginning — they're designed in Stoke-on-Trent, the English pottery town where he grew up. Every piece is hand-painted, and none of them are made just to look at: they're all built around a job — a salt shaker, a jug, a pencil pot, a vase, an egg cup. Quail is our favorite easy way to bring a little rural whimsy into a room. A Friesian cow carrying a market bouquet — that small pop of personality on an otherwise ordinary surface is exactly the point.

What you're getting: One hand-painted Friesian cow flower vase.

Dimensions: Approx. 26 cm tall

Care: Hand-painted stoneware. Dishwasher safe; we'd still recommend the top rack and a gentle cycle for the long-term life of the painted detail. Not suitable for microwave or oven use.
