Half glossy, half bare. The top of this bottle vase wears a milky speckled glaze that catches the light, and the bottom is left unglazed, so the two finishes meet in a clean line around the middle. Sullivans calls the pairing both modern and classic, and that is exactly how it reads on a shelf: farmhouse without the clutter, modern without the chill.

Pick a height or collect all three. The 10 inch stands on its own at the end of a console. The 7.5 inch is the one for a bedside table. The 5 inch tucks onto a windowsill with a single stem. Line them up together and the stepped heights do the styling for you.

It is watertight, so fresh flowers are fair game, and a bare branch or a few dried grasses look just as good. One vase, one stem from the yard, and the corner is finished.
