Cylinder Vase – Polish Pottery

The cylinder vases made of Polish pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna are elegant, timeless, and functional. Their tall, slender shape is ideal for:

• long-stemmed flowers like roses, lilies, gladiolus, or delphiniums

• fragrant varieties such as lavender, jasmine, freesia, or hyacinths

• modern or minimalist interiors where the vase and scent can take center stage

Available in:

• multiple sizes – from slim tabletop versions to larger floor-standing models

• classic and contemporary hand-painted patterns – dots, florals, stripes, natural motifs

• a wide color palette – from traditional cobalt blue to muted earthy tones

The cylindrical form supports vertical arrangements, allowing the scent and shape of the flowers to unfold with simplicity and presence.

The Psychological Impact of Floral Fragrance

Fragrance is a powerful sensory experience. Unlike visual stimuli, scent bypasses rational filtering and travels directly to the emotional center of the brain – the limbic system. Flowers don’t just look beautiful; they influence mood, memory, and mental well-being.

1. Proven effects of floral scents:

• Lavender calms anxiety and improves sleep

• Rose promotes emotional balance and feelings of comfort

• Jasmine is uplifting and known for mood-enhancing properties

• Hyacinth & Freesia evoke freshness, joy, and clarity

These flowers bring not only aesthetic pleasure, but also create a sensory atmosphere that can uplift or ground us.

2. Fragrance perception in individuals with visual impairment

For people who are blind or visually impaired, fragrance plays a heightened role in perception and orientation. Without visual input, the olfactory system becomes an essential gateway to the world.

A fragrant floral arrangement in a cylinder vase can:

• Act as a spatial marker – indicating a location like a windowsill or table

• Trigger memories and emotional associations

• Offer daily sensory enrichment and comfort

• Be a means of independent interaction with a space or object

These individuals often perceive scent more consciously and intensely, transforming flowers into deeply personal experiences.

Styling Tip:

Use a single fragrant flower – like a rose, lily, or hyacinth – in a cylinder vase to create a clear, focused sensory display. Add a tactile accessory like linen or wood beneath the vase to enhance multisensory connection.

Conclusion:

A cylinder vase from Polish pottery by Ceramika Artystyczna is more than a container – it’s a sensory vessel. Especially when filled with fragrant flowers, it becomes a tool for emotional well-being, memory, and inner balance – and for those who experience the world beyond sight, it can be a profound form of connection.
