Modern Ceramic Bowl Vase & Plant Pot | Round Minimalist Planter Container for Living Room, Bedroom, Office & Indoor Outdoor Decor

A wide, low ceramic bowl that works equally well as a vase, a planter and a container — which is exactly what makes it worth owning. The round, shallow form is the one shape most people don't have: everything else on a shelf is tall, and a low horizontal bowl breaks that up and gives the eye somewhere to rest.

As a plant pot it suits succulents, a small fern or a shallow-rooted arrangement, and the wide opening makes it easy to plant several things together rather than one specimen alone. As a vase it takes a short, dense arrangement — the kind you make by cutting stems very short and packing them into the mouth, which is far easier than it looks and reads as florist-made. Empty, it's a bowl for fruit on a table, keys in a hallway or nothing at all on a console. Fired ceramic in a plain modern finish, it sits comfortably in Scandinavian, Japandi and contemporary rooms, indoors on a shelf or desk, or outdoors on a sheltered patio or balcony table.

Why you'll love it

• Three uses in one — a plant pot, a low vase and a decorative bowl.
• Wide, low form — the horizontal shape most shelves and tables are missing.
• Plants several things together — a wide mouth suits succulent groups rather than single specimens.
• Fired ceramic — proper weight and a durable plain finish, indoors or on a sheltered patio.
• Short-stem arrangements — the easiest way to make a few flowers look professionally done.
• Works empty — a bowl on a console or table needs nothing in it to earn its place.

Planting tip — check for a drainage hole before you plant directly into it. If there isn't one, put a layer of gravel in the base and keep the plant in its nursery pot inside the bowl; succulents in particular die faster from sitting in water than from anything else.
