Finding a decorative vase that functions as both an art piece and a vessel for botanicals can transform your space from ordinary to gallery-worthy. The Currey & Co 12 in. Inoue Porcelain Black Vase, available at LOOMLAN with free shipping, features a hand-thrown ceramic vase design with a dripped pattern inspired by the rusticity of Zen ideals from Imperial Japan's Kamakura period.
This porcelain vase combines a black and off-white color palette with a subtly rough texture and matte finish. Because each vase is hand-thrown and hand-decorated, the patterns vary slightly from piece to piece, ensuring your vase is one of a kind.

What Is a Decorative Vase?
A decorative vase is a vessel designed to hold fresh or dried flowers, branches, or pampas grass while also functioning as a standalone sculptural element in home decor. Unlike strictly functional vases, decorative vases often feature artistic patterns, textures, or shapes that make them statement pieces even when empty.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Inoue Vase
- Hand-Thrown Artistry -- Each vase is individually crafted by hand, ensuring unique variations in the dripped pattern that celebrate traditional pottery techniques.
- Japanese-Inspired Design -- The aesthetic draws from Zen ideals of the Kamakura period, bringing a sense of serene sophistication to your interiors.
- Textured Matte Finish -- The subtly rough surface and non-glossy appearance add tactile depth and visual interest that stands apart from smooth ceramic finishes.
- Generous Scale -- At 12 inches tall and 11 inches wide, this table vase accommodates substantial dried flower arrangements or makes a bold statement on its own.
- Versatile Color Palette -- The black and off-white combination complements both modern minimalist and organic boho decor styles.
