What Is a Double Gourd Vase?
A double gourd vase is a ceramic vessel shaped like two stacked gourds, creating a silhouette that tapers at the center and swells at the top and bottom. This traditional form, rooted in Asian pottery heritage, serves as a sculptural accent piece for mantels, tables, and shelving, either displayed alone or filled with dried botanicals.
What You Get With the Currey & Co Celadon Crackle Maiping Double Gourd Vase
- Hand-Thrown Porcelain Body -- Artisan-crafted construction delivers organic variation and authentic character in every piece.
- Celadon Crackle Glaze -- A light thermic shock bakes intentional crackled lines into the glaze, creating a rich textured surface.
- Tea Leaf and Ink Detailing -- Real tea leaves darken some crackle lines while black calligraphy ink fills others, adding depth to the pale green finish.
- Traditional Double Gourd Silhouette -- The iconic two-tiered shape provides visual interest from every angle and complements classic or eclectic interiors.
- Table-Friendly Scale -- At 13 inches tall and 8.5 inches in diameter, this ceramic vase fits console tables, mantels, and credenzas without overwhelming surrounding decor.
