Mcclees Silver Vase

This vase features a slim, architectural profile with dimensions of 13 inches in height, 9 inches in depth, and a very narrow 3-inch width. Because of its exceptionally slender 3-inch footprint, it is an ideal choice for decorating restricted spaces like a fireplace mantel, a narrow entryway console table, or a shallow floating shelf where a traditional round vase might not fit.

Despite its slim 3-inch width, the oval shape of this vase provides a broad 9-inch base, offering more stability than a standard thin bud vase. This elongated footprint creates a lower center of gravity, making it more resistant to tipping. For added security in high-traffic areas or homes with pets, placing it as a centerpiece on a solid table or using a small amount of museum putty on the base is a common professional styling tip to ensure it remains stationary.

To preserve the luster of the champagne finish and keep the scratched details clear of dust, our care guides recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. If a deeper clean is needed, use a light application of warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can dull the metallic finish and damage the delicate textured surface of the piece.

While this item is designed as a decorative accent and is perfect for showcasing silk florals or dried stems, we recommend testing for water-tightness before using it with fresh bouquets. Our material experts suggest that for ceramic-style vases, using a protective liner or strictly using high-quality silk florals—like those found in our home decor collections—prevents any potential moisture "sweating" that could damage the finish of your wood furniture.

The "cut out" center of this vase creates a sense of negative space, which is a hallmark of modern and contemporary design. This transparency allows the color of your wall or furniture to show through, making the piece feel integrated into the room. The scratched detail provides a subtle, "natural look" texture that contrasts with its sleek silver and champagne finish, adding a layer of sophisticated, organic warmth to minimalist decor.

This piece is highly versatile because it bridges the gap between warm and cool tones. While the primary finish family is silver/gray, the description notes a "warm champagne finish," allowing it to harmonize with both cool modern blues and grays as well as warmer earth-toned palettes. It acts as an excellent transitional accent for an open-plan living space, carrying a cohesive look from a formal dining area to a relaxed seating zone.
