Astronaut Flower Vase, Ceramic Sculpture in White, Gold or Silver

A ceramic astronaut standing on your shelf in a full suit and helmet, with a few green stems rising out of the pack on its back. From the front it reads as a small piece of sculpture. Look again, and it is also the vase.

It comes in glossy white with a gold visor, or in mirror gold or mirror silver all over, and in two heights. Every one is the same figure, mid-step, one gloved hand resting on its belt.

The flowers go in the backpack

The opening sits at the top of the astronaut's backpack, a short round neck just behind the helmet. A few slim stems go in there, a sprig of eucalyptus, some dried grass or a single branch. They rise up behind the helmet, so the figure looks as if it is carrying them.

That earns it a spot on a bookshelf or a desk, places a plain vase rarely goes. With stems in it, it is a small arrangement. With nothing in it, it is still a finished piece that holds its own beside a row of books.

White, gold or silver

The white one is the classic suit, a bright glaze with the gold visor as the one warm accent, and it sits easily in a pale room or against dark wood. Green stems look best against it.

The gold and silver ones are mirror-finished from helmet to boots, visor included, so they pick up the room around them. Gold catches warm light from a lamp or a window and looks at home beside walnut and brass. Silver is cooler and sharper, and it suits black, steel and glass, a desk in a home office or a modern sideboard.

Two heights, and where each one fits

The small one stands a little taller than a paperback, which makes it right for a desk, a bedside table or a narrow bookshelf. The large one is a little taller than a hardback, enough to hold its own on a sideboard, a console in the hall or the end of a mantel, and it takes taller stems.

Side by side, the large one can carry the stems. The small one keeps it company. Exact sizes are in the specifications below, and either one makes an easy present for someone who has everything except an astronaut.
