Trumpet Vase – Polish Pottery

The trumpet vase from Ceramika Artystyczna is a celebration of form and function. Crafted in the historic Bunzlauer pottery tradition of Bolesławiec, Poland, it features:

• a narrow base for stem stability

• a flared rim for dramatic floral presentation

• a hand-painted, durable, and dishwasher-safe body

Available in various sizes and traditional patterns, this vase is ideal for long-stemmed, rare, or high-value blooms that deserve a stage of their own.
