Medium Metal Vase with Lid

There’s a quiet strength to this medium hammered vase. The matt black finish and hand-worked steel give it a subtle texture that catches the light without shouting for attention. I find the hammered surface brings a gentle movement to the piece, making it feel considered rather than stark.

It works well floor standing, especially with sculptural branches like twisted hazel. The scale is generous enough to hold its own beside a fireplace or in a hallway, but not so large that it overwhelms. If you prefer, it can also anchor a corner or sit alongside other vessels for a layered look.

The black metal brings a grounding note to lighter rooms and pairs easily with both natural woods and softer textiles. It’s a piece that adds structure and a touch of quiet drama, without ever feeling forced.
