Containers, jars and baskets


Pots, jars and containers add a decorative touch to interiors or patios; they can also have a practical use such as for wet umbrellas near the front door or storing things like golf balls or knitting wool depending on your particular interest.  Some can be used as a striking flower vase for large arrangements. They can also be converted into attractive lamp bases.
A grouping of similar jars makes an interesting feature on a mantle piece or hall table.

All the jars, baskets and containers featured here are for sale so please contact me for pricing.


Orange and white square vase

  
The Red lacquer lunch box on the left and the Burmese offering vessel on the right both have a warm soft red patina and are interesting and beautiful decorative objects.


I love blue and white ceramics and a grouping of various shapes in a white space creates a decorative cool and fresh look.

In the interior below Axel Vervoordt has displayed his client’s collection of blue and white pottery in a decorative wall display and carried the colours through to other elements in the room.


Here is a pretty collection of blue and white pottery imported from China; they are copies of antique pots.
