Clarice Ceramic Handbag Vase, Sculptural Purse Vase
Description
Description
A vase that doubles as a conversation piece, this handbag-shaped ceramic vessel brings sculptural charm to any surface. The playful silhouette features curved handles and a structured body that holds fresh or dried stems with personality, turning a simple grocery-store bouquet into something that looks deliberate. It reads as art when empty and as a flower vase when full, which makes it one of the rare decor objects that never looks wrong on a shelf.
The body is glazed ceramic, fired for durability and wiped clean with a damp cloth. The interior is watertight, so it takes fresh-cut flowers directly, and the weighted base keeps it stable even with a tall arrangement leaning to one side. Use it on an entryway console with a few eucalyptus sprigs, on a dining table with seasonal blooms, on a vanity with dried lavender, or on a bookshelf with nothing in it at all.
From Oak Mercer, the Clarice vase is a reliable gift for anyone who likes decor with a sense of humor, and an easy way to add a curved, feminine shape to a room full of straight lines. Two sizes let you scale it to a side table or a larger console. Hand wash only, and avoid sudden temperature changes to protect the glaze.

Art When Empty
Most vases look unfinished without flowers. The handbag silhouette means this one sits happily on a shelf with nothing in it and still looks like something you chose on purpose.
Curved Handles
The curved handles and structured ceramic body give it real shape from every angle, so it holds up on a console where people walk past it from both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it hold water for fresh flowers?
Does it hold water for fresh flowers?
Yes, the ceramic body is built to hold fresh stems in water as well as dried arrangements. That makes it a real vase and not only a sculptural object.
What stems suit the handbag shape best?
What stems suit the handbag shape best?
Loose garden style bunches and soft dried stems both look wonderful, because the structured body contrasts with anything relaxed. A tight formal arrangement fights the shape a little.
Are the handles decorative or can I carry it?
Are the handles decorative or can I carry it?
The handles are a sculptural part of the silhouette and are best treated as decoration. Lift the vase by its body and the piece stays safe and looks its best.
Will it look too playful in a modern room?
Will it look too playful in a modern room?
It reads as charming rather than novelty, so it sits comfortably on a minimal console. One playful object in a restrained room is usually what makes the room feel personal.
How do I clean the inside?
How do I clean the inside?
Rinse with warm water and use a soft bottle brush for the base. Emptying the water between arrangements keeps the interior fresh.
