Bespoke Vases
If you have your own precious family letters I can use them to design a unique bespoke vase for you that will celebrate your special memories. With my bespoke service, you can commission a single scroll vase to incorporate scripts from your own letters or music scores from songs or pieces of music with personal meaning to you. You will be involved at every step of the process so that you get your personal exclusive design exactly as you want it.
How it works
You email me an image of your letter or music score at best quality 300dpi and let me know the size of the vase required. We will discuss any areas of the script that are important to be included then I will get to work and design a few options for you to view. I make a mock on paper and send you a photo so that you can get a good idea of how it will look when finished. Once you are happy with the design, I will make the vase.
You still get to choose from the 6 internal colours - red, turquoise, purple, green, orange or white and you choose whether to have gold or platinum on the rim. Your vase will then arrive in a luxury gift box with eco packaging.
Pricing for this service is :
XL vase - 22cm - £125
L vase - 16cm -£105
M vase - 13cm -£84

A deposit of 50% is due before designing commences and the final payment due prior to posting.
It’s such a joy for me to create these meaningful pieces for people, so contact me for a chat if you want to create an exceptional gift for a loved one or a new piece for yourself that holds personal value.
Testimonials
Having discovered Diane’s incredible work on Instagram, I requested two exclusive vases using a love letter from my husband and a recent twentieth-anniversary note from our daughter. Communication was easy via email, by sending images of the notes then Diane graciously providing photos of ideas to choose for each one. It was a pleasant and exciting process to see them each step of the way. They arrived before the holidays, safely wrapped and absolutely beautiful, better than I imagined! I love how Diane’s ceramics creatively combine contemporary artistry with meaning. These will become our new-generation family heirlooms. S.Fitzmaurice. USA
My sister and and I first saw these “hand-written” bespoke bud vases at a pottery craft fair a couple of years ago, and we loved them and immediately thought of letters written by my Father who had the most beautiful hand-writing. During Lockdown, I finally got around to emailing Diane a copy of a hand-written letter from my Father from which she created several possible templates for the bud vase. Once I had made my choice and decided on the rim colours, I waited with baited breath until they arrived; one for me and one for my sister! We were not disappointed and they have now become very precious family heirlooms. T.Miurhead. UK
