£95
Price History
Description
Hand-thrown exclusively for Heal's by Alan at Aylesford Pottery in Kent, the Large Bubble Vase celebrates traditional British craft. Its tall silhouette is shaped by two softly rounded curves and finished with a flared rim, creating an elegant vessel for taller stems and branches. Each piece continues Aylesford Pottery's tradition of studio ceramics, established by David Leach in 1955.
Our Stylist Says
This large clay bubble vase is a versatile piece that works beautifully in both modern and rustic interiors. I love its neutral sand hue and organic shape, which add a subtle texture and visual interest without overwhelming the space. It’s ideal for showcasing simple, single-stem arrangements or dried botanicals to keep the look minimalist and elegant. For styling tips, place it on a console or side table as a standalone statement or group it with smaller vases for a curated display. Its understated design makes it a great addition to neutrally themed rooms, but it can also serve as a subtle complement within more colourful or patterned settings.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
