Price History
Description
A reactive glaze gives this vase a unique and artisinal look. It's made in a versatile medium size, to a timeless rounded silhouette. A neat brim provides an elegant finishing touch.
Our Stylist Says
I love the M&S Medium Reactive Glaze Ceramic Rounded Vase in purple for its versatile, sophisticated colour and its rounded silhouette, which adds a softer, tactile element to displays. It works well in both modern and traditional interiors, particularly those with neutral or muted palettes, where it can serve as a statement piece or complement other colour accents. For styling, try grouping it with smaller vases or greenery to create visual interest, or let it stand alone on a side table or mantel for understated elegance. Its medium size makes it flexible for various spaces, from shelves to dining tables, and the reactive glaze finish adds a layer of depth, making it a durable choice to showcase with or without floral arrangements.

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.
