Hand-Built Ceramic Bough Vase

Emily Mitchell’s bough vase brings a touch of storybook charm to any setting. Hand-built in her Norwich studio, it draws on historic forms once used to display flowering branches—boughs cut from the garden and brought indoors to bloom. With its softly uneven silhouette and painterly surface detail, this piece feels both familiar and a little fantastical. Made to be filled, but just as lovely left bare, it turns the simple act of arranging a branch into something ritualistic.
