An animal vase is a vase where the shape, decoration, or motif depicts an animal – often made in ceramic with a humorous or artistic expression. At Dims Studio, you’ll find a wide selection of vases where animal motifs and figures take center stage, curated with attention to quality, detail, and a playful universe.
Materials and Types of Animal Vases
Most animal vases at Dims Studio are made of ceramic or stoneware, allowing for detailed shapes and vibrant glazes. You’ll also find some models in porcelain or glass, but ceramic dominates because it offers freedom to create everything from realistic animal faces to more abstract figures. The glazes range from matte surfaces to glossy finishes, often in multiple colors with hand-painted details. Some vases depict whole animals, while others feature a more subtle motif – for example, an animal face on the front or ears as handles.
Sizes and Dimensions
Animal vases come in many sizes. Small models typically measure 8-12 cm in height and are suitable for single flowers or as decoration on shelves and tables. Medium sizes are around 15-20 cm, while the largest animal vases can be up to 28-32 cm tall and hold bigger bouquets or branches. Width varies from narrow cylindrical shapes at 5-8 cm to more voluminous figures at 12-18 cm. This means there’s room for both small, quirky statements and larger centerpiece vases.
