This floral vase mosaic panel comprises small tesserae of marble and stone. Inspired by the vases of Rome and Attica, this mosaic is particularly special because highlights are created by polished tesserae set against a honed, drier background. This was a special bespoke commission. We are often commissioned to execute bespoke works in all mosaic styles for our clients. From De Ferranti’s Mosaic Collection, the design demonstrates how differences in finish can model a pictorial subject without relying only on colour.

Floral Vase Mosaic Panel Inspired by Rome and Attica

The composition treats the vase as a classical still-life subject, with fine stems and flowers extending outward from the central vessel. Polished highlights against the honed background give selected details greater light response, adding depth without turning the surface glossy overall. For another classically referenced hand-set composition, Arazzo Mosaic explores an archaeological pattern language, while Female Dancer Pouring Water demonstrates figurative modelling through small tesserae. The wider Mosaics – All Disciplines collection provides context for other mosaic techniques.

Commissioning Scale, Finish and Framing

A floral vase mosaic panel should be specified as a complete composition, with the final scale, viewing distance and surrounding frame considered before production. Changes in tessera size or panel dimensions affect how finely leaves, stems and highlights can be modelled. The relationship between polished and honed areas should also be reviewed by sample because light conditions influence the contrast. For project-specific adaptations, De Ferranti can discuss colour, material, border treatment and how the composition should sit within panelling, wall fields or other interior surfaces. Confirm installation and exposure requirements for the intended setting.
