£25
Price History
Description
Crafted from ceramic, this medium-sized vase will work well with any interior. Effortlessly stylish, it boasts a sleek tapering silhouette and is the perfect companion for freshly cut flowers or a soft selection of pampas grass.
Our Stylist Says
I love this colour-blocked vase for its versatility and understated elegance. The tapered shape and calming blue tone make it ideal for both modern and traditional interiors, working especially well in neutral or muted colour schemes. It’s perfect for displaying fresh flowers, dried stems, or even standing alone as a sculptural piece. For styling tips, try pairing it with natural textures like wood or linen to create a balanced look, and consider placing it on shelves, side tables, or mantelpieces for visual interest. Its medium size also makes it a practical choice for adding presence without overwhelming smaller spaces.

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.
