On a refined side table, in an open cabinet, or as a silent eye-catcher on a dresser: this trumpet-shaped vase immediately catches the light and attention. Even before you touch it, you'll sense that this is no ordinary object, but a piece of history looking for its place in a contemporary interior.
This French Vallauris earthenware vase, crafted by master ceramist Jean Gerbino, is an ode to patience and craftsmanship. The mosaic pattern – composed of small, carefully assembled fragments in shades of green, earthy tones, and soft accents – seems to almost move as you walk past it. Every detail tells a story of handcraft, of taking time, of creating with feeling.
For those who appreciate peace and harmony, this vase brings a gentle depth to the space. The colours subtly blend into each other, creating a natural balance. Those who prefer expression and character will discover playful lines and a lively texture that never tires. And for those who value certainty and clarity: this is an authentic piece from the 1940s, signed and marked, with a transparent history and honest condition.
What makes this vase special is not only its aesthetics but also its soul. This is precisely what De Tuin Der Kunsten stands for: art that is different, with a unique twist, yet affordable and accessible. An object that doesn't shout but continues to speak – day after day.
Thanks to its trumpet shape, it looks stunning with a few branches, but just as beautiful on its own. Place it in a modern interior for contrast, or in a classic setting where it seamlessly blends in.
Do you want to be sure it will fit in your home? Via the button “Visualize this object in your interior” you can easily project this vase in 2D and 3D, even in your own space. This way, you can immediately see how it relates to your light, colours, and furniture.
As an interior composer, I am also happy to think along with you. Sometimes the difference lies in a small shift, a different height, or just that one combination that makes everything work. You can also experience this vase in real life in the art room of De Tuin Der Kunsten.
