Quail produces hand-painted ceramic vases in Stoke-on-Trent, England, where each polar bear is individually shaped and painted. This results in small natural variations in brushstrokes and color tones — no two vases are exactly alike. The stoneware is fired at high temperature, making the vase watertight for fresh flowers and durable enough for everyday use in the dishwasher. The polar bear stands steadily on four paws with the opening on its back, allowing stems to be placed between the ears.
Care and maintenance
Dishwasher safe, but hand washing with warm water and dish soap will extend the life of the brushstrokes. Avoid scrubbing directly on the painted details.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Quail’s animal vases and regular ceramic vases?
Quail’s animal vases are hand-painted in England with individual brushstrokes, while mass-produced ceramic vases are typically spray-painted or printed. Each Quail vase has small unique variations in colors and details. Additionally, the opening is placed on the animal’s back instead of a traditional vase shape.
Can the polar bear vase hold water for fresh flowers?
Yes, the stoneware is fired at high temperature and glazed inside, making the vase 100% watertight. The opening on the back is wide enough for 3-5 stems, such as tulips, ranunculus, or simple branches.
How do I clean a hand-painted Quail vase without damaging the paint?
The vase is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is gentler. Use warm water and regular dish soap, and avoid scrubbing directly on the painted details. Dry with a soft cloth.
Is a polar bear vase a good christening or birthday gift for children?
Yes, Quail’s animal vases are popular christening and children’s gifts because they can be used both as a vase and as a decorative sculpture in the child’s room. Many parents collect different Quail animals (penguin, elephant, giraffe) that grow with the child.
How big is the opening in the polar bear vase?
The opening on the back is about 4-5 cm in diameter, fitting 3-5 thin to medium-thick stems. For very thick branches or large bouquets, a bigger vase is recommended.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
