The Vase is an immersive vessel and has been an important part of human daily life for thousands of years, with some fragments found in China dating back as far as 20,000 years ago. The ancient Greeks used ceramic vessels in every aspect of their daily lives: for storage, carrying, mixing, serving, and drinking, and as cosmetic and perfume containers, many with pictorial illustrations that provided insights into their everyday existence as well as philosophical scenes and stories.

The vases that we have in our homes today are mainly for decorative purposes with some inspired by the shapes and forms used in ancient times as well as new modern simplified designs.

We have ceramic artists at Tree that explore a varied range of vase shapes and styles with some inspired by history and others more contemporary. Paul Maseyks large pots remind me of Greek vessels but with a modern flair that holds them to the present day, and Aaron Scythe has clear references to Asian ceramic forms with modern illustrations. We have Jane Kennington who pinches out shapes as well as exploring square lines, as does Richard Parker on his collectible eye vases. Renee Boyd is a favourite with our visitors; they enjoy her contemporary decorative design applied on simple forms.

​Tree has its own retro inspired range that is modern, sleek and simple. We all like to smell and admire freshly cut flowers arranged into lovely posies; it is a way of brightening our moods on melancholy days and is a reminder of all the natural beauty that surrounds us. Emma Bass has frozen beauty in time with her imperfect series, capturing specific moments of wilting wonder by photographing her floral arrangements in her personal collection of Crown Lynn vases. So, come see us at Tree Gallery and we will help you find the vase that’s just right for your home, work space, mum cave or as a gift for a deserving friend. ​
