Creative Ceramic Face Vase | Modern Sculptural Art Vase & Figurine Ornament for Living Room, Console & Desktop Decor, 5 Designs, 30cm

A ceramic vase modelled as an abstract figure — part vessel, part sculpture, with a face and form suggested in a few clean planes and the opening set into the head. It's a piece with a sense of humour to it, which is rare in home decor and rather welcome: it holds flowers perfectly well, but its real job is to be the one object in the room that makes people look twice.

Five designs, each a different expression and posture, at a substantial 20 x 8 x 30 cm — tall enough to hold a console, a sideboard or a dining table on its own rather than needing to be grouped. Buy one as a talking point or two to face each other, which is where these become genuinely funny. The neutral ceramic finish keeps it modern rather than kitsch and suits Scandinavian, Japandi and contemporary rooms. With dried stems it becomes a figure with hair; empty, it's simply a sculpture — and it makes an unusually memorable housewarming, wedding or birthday gift for someone whose home has everything conventional in it already.

Why you'll love it

• Vase and sculpture in one — holds flowers, but stands entirely on its own empty.
• Five designs — different faces and postures; buy two and set them facing each other.
• Substantial 30cm height — enough presence to carry a console or sideboard alone.
• Neutral ceramic finish — keeps the humour modern rather than tipping into kitsch.
• Transforms with dried stems — fill it and the figure acquires a head of hair.
• Memorable gift — for the person whose home already has all the conventional things in it.

Styling tip — a piece with a face needs to be looking at something. Angle it slightly into the room or toward a doorway rather than square to the wall, and it stops being an ornament and starts being a presence.
