If you’ve been around here for a while, you know I’m a big fan of styling with pottery. It’s one of the most versatile and timeless styling accessories you can buy. Whether you’re filling a vessel with fresh florals, branches, or allowing it shine independently as a sculptural object, a beautiful vase adds easy character and interest to any vignette. While my personal collection is mostly thrifted, I know many of you prefer the convenience of grabbing something that can be delivered quickly. I’ve spent hours combing through Amazon to curate 40 designer-approved vases, vessels, and pottery options that have that vintage appeal. These all look high-end, work with a variety of aesthetics, are pieces you can style any time of year, and have my stamp of approval.
If you’re anything like me… you are probably in the midst of adding some fall touches to your home this week. I’ve started restyling some vignettes for the season ahead. These vessels are perfect for arranging realistic faux and dried branches for autumn… and if you’re looking for a quick tutorial on how to do that, here’s how to easily style branches for fall. That’s my tried & true method! Let’s get to the pottery.
Why I Love Using Vases & Vessels in Styling
Vases or vessels are one of my favorite styling tools because they’re easy to layer into any vignette…
- Add texture and depth — A layered vignette feels more collected and intentional with pottery.
- Versatility — Use them for florals, branches, utensils, or display them empty as sculptural art.
- Seasonless appeal — A classic vessel can live in your home year-round without feeling trendy.
- Budget-friendly update — Small styling swaps can dramatically change the look of a room without a full redesign. For me, that means restyling often to keep things fresh. Good styling is all about balance- combining sculptural shapes with natural elements and a mix of materials. A well-placed vase can completely change the look of your vignette.

Where to Use These Vessels
I use pottery and vessels in many ways. Here are a few ideas for incorporating these throughout your home…

- Bedside tables or bathroom vanities — A small sculptural vase instantly elevates a vignette alongside everyday essentials.
- Entry consoles — Pair a large vessel with fresh greenery or oversized branches for a statement welcoming vignette.
- Bookshelves — Tuck in pottery between stacks of books for a layered look, using them as bookends.

FAQ
Focus on proportion and placement. For example, oversized floor vessels work beautifully in empty corners, while smaller pottery pieces are better suited for shelves, consoles, or perched atop a pedestal or stack of books.
I love using seasonal branches, florals, or even leaving sculptural pottery empty… in fact, that’s what I do most of the time. Texture and form are just as impactful as blooms.
Absolutely. Mixing materials like ceramic, stoneware, and metal creates visual interest and depth. The key is balancing shapes and colors so they feel cohesive.
Group vessels in odd numbers, vary the heights, and leave negative space around them. Less is more when styling pottery!
