Price History
Description
This large ceramic vase is crafted in a striking amphora shape, making it a worthy centrepiece for your table or window. A reactive glaze gives each piece its own unique look.
Our Stylist Says
I love this big black reactive glaze vase for its rich, sophisticated hue and textured surface, making it a versatile piece for various interiors. It works particularly well in modern, minimalist, or industrial schemes, where its dark tone can create a striking focal point. To style it effectively, consider pairing it with simple greenery or fresh seasonal blooms to add contrast without competing with its colour. Its generous size makes it ideal as a statement centrepiece on a dining table or sideboard, while its sturdy form can also ground a decorated shelf or console table. Practical tip: keep arrangements balanced and understated to let the vase’s beautiful glaze and form shine through.

About Marks & Spencer
History and Expansion
Marks and Spencer, often lovingly called "Marks and Sparks" or "M&S", has been a staple in the UK market since its founding in 1884. Over the years, the brand has seen tremendous growth, with 1,064 stores across the UK and an additional 406 locations worldwide as of 2023.
Historically, M&S was celebrated for its commitment to selling British-made goods, pioneering the "St Michael" brand in 1928 which honoured its co-founder Michael Marks.
As they grew, M&S maintained its reputation for quality, fair value, and innovative customer policies, even allowing returns with full cash refunds regardless of purchase date.
Clothing & Home Business Endeavours
In recent years, M&S has focused on modernising its Clothing & Home business, striving to offer contemporary, stylish products that resonate with their 22 million customers.
A noteworthy move was their acquisition of Jaeger in 2021, a brand that shares a founding year with M&S. Under M&S's umbrella, Jaeger remains an independent brand, renowned for its timeless elegance, and is now available on M&S's website and in select M&S stores across the UK and Ireland.
Sustainability and Innovations
Throughout its existence, Marks and Spencer has demonstrated commitment to improving customer experience and sustainability.
In the 1950s, they introduced hygiene training for canteen staff, and by the 1960s had implemented thermostatically controlled refrigerators for enhanced energy efficiency.
M&S has been at the forefront of many retail innovations, from introducing "sell by dates" in the early '70s to enhance food quality, to banning smoking in all their stores as early as 1959 due to fire hazards.
The brand's long standing dedication to quality, customer relations, and sustainability remains evident in their practices today.
