Runabout Black 12 in. Vase

Yes, this vase is crafted from high-quality ceramic, making it suitable for both fresh flowers and greenery. The material is designed to hold water securely; however, as with all ceramic accents, we recommend testing it on a non-porous surface first or using a small protective coaster to prevent "sweating" or moisture transfer to delicate wood furniture.

A 12-inch height is a versatile mid-size that works exceptionally well as a standalone piece on a mantel or as part of a curated centerpiece on a dining or coffee table. For a modern look, our styling experts suggest pairing the plaid-patterned black finish with vibrant green eucalyptus or simple white lilies to create a high-contrast, sophisticated aesthetic.

This item is noted as requiring customer assembly. For decorative accents like this, setup is typically minimal—often involving the simple attachment of a protective base or the final placement of a decorative component—ensuring your new accent is shelf-ready in just a few moments.

To preserve the deep black color and unique lined design, our care guidelines suggest regular dusting with a soft, lint-free cloth. If used with fresh flowers, ensure the interior is rinsed with mild soap and warm water, avoiding abrasive chemicals that could mar the ceramic glaze.

Ceramic is naturally heavier than glass or plastic, providing a lower center of gravity and better stability. While no decorative item is entirely tip-proof, the 5-inch base provides a sturdy foundation for the 12-inch frame, making it less likely to be displaced by vibrations or light contact compared to lighter-weight alternatives.

Absolutely. With a compact 5-inch by 5-inch footprint, this vase is ideal for urban apartment living where surface space is at a premium. It provides significant vertical interest (12 inches tall) without crowding narrow entry tables, bookshelves, or office desks, making it an excellent "small-space" decorative solution.
