This green incised vase brings a fresher botanical energy to the same disciplined form, pairing a deep black high-gloss body with saturated leaf-green carved motifs. The decoration wraps the vessel in rhythmic bands, while sculptural handles and a classical amphora silhouette give the piece a strong, balanced profile. The motifs are not applied or inlaid. They are incised into the surface so that pattern and form remain closely connected, with shallow relief catching light along every carved edge. The green detailing feels organic against the dark ground, while the flared neck, rounded body and stepped base maintain the controlled proportions of the original design.

Green Incised Vase with Botanical Detail

The green incised vase is defined by contrast: glossy black curvature, crisp carved outlines and repeated leaf forms that move around the body and handles. The colour change gives the ornament greater botanical emphasis while retaining the graphic clarity of the monochrome composition. Its companion, the Monochrome Incised Vase, uses ivory-toned motifs against the same dark ground, making the pair useful for comparing how colour changes the character of an otherwise closely related form.

Within the broader Objects of Desire & Curiosities collection, the vase sits among objects chosen for material, workmanship and presence rather than decorative fashion.

Placement and Visual Balance

Because the surface carries strong contrast, the green incised vase benefits from a relatively calm setting. A console, pedestal or display cabinet can provide sufficient space around the handles and amphora profile, while side lighting helps reveal the incised edges. When coordinating it with stone, timber, lacquer or metal, the black ground can act as a visual anchor and the green motifs as the principal colour note.
