Urns (non-funeral) and vases have been used for thousands of years according to archeological discoveries, and their functional and decorative use today is still as popular. The use of decorative urns and vases shouldn’t be overlooked when looking for inspiration for a gift or decorative item.
From a tiny vase to display a miniature rosebud from the garden to a large urn complete with an intricately designed stand, pieces of art are crafted to reflect history, whimsy and function. This makes the pieces a natural choice for many who are trying to include beautiful unique accessories into their home decor.
Smaller pieces can be displayed in matched pairs. A collection of styles, shapes and sizes can be mixed and matched to reflect the interests of the entire family. The versatility of the vessels allows for functions limited only by the imagination of the owner.
Replicas of vases and urns from various points in history of cultures throughout the world can easily be found in natural or elaborately detailed painted finishes to establish the backbone of a room’s décor. Smaller sized pieces can serve as accessories to carry on the decorative theme in the choice of shape, color or texture.Display cut flowers or living plants and trees in a piece of art on the mantle, entry table or bookcase in an appropriately sized vase or urn. Use larger pieces alongside the entry door to change even an umbrella storage space into a decorative display. Some vases are made to hang on a wall and look beautiful when this is done.
Vases and urns are versatile – they can hide a collection of pet toys when they are not in use as well as serving as the centerpiece of a celebration dinner. This versatility makes decorative urns and vases great gift ideas.
