A grey glazed stoneware vase, dating from the 1960s, Ø 16 cm, h 23 cm. A glazed stoneware vase combines the strength and durability of stoneware with the beauty and aesthetic variety offered by the surface glazing. Stoneware, being a ceramic material fired at very high temperatures (over 1200 °C), acquires exceptional properties. It is almost completely non-porous. This means it absorbs very little water. Water does not penetrate its structure, so there is no risk of the vase freezing and cracking in winter. Perfect for outdoor use. The glaze layer further seals the surface, making the vase highly resistant to stains (soil, limescale, fertilizer residues) and easy to clean. It is more robust than terracotta or standard ceramic.
