Large White Ceramic Loop Handle Vase - 9 Inches High

The Story

This is the kind of vessel that gives florals a cleaner, more finished place to land. The white ceramic finish keeps the look calm and versatile, while the rounded shape and loop handles add just enough sculptural interest to make it feel special without trying too hard.

Its larger scale makes it especially useful for fuller stems, greenery, or arrangements that need a bit more grounding. It works beautifully as a floral vessel or as a standalone accent, which is always helpful when a piece earns its keep between arrangements.

Design Function

Designed to add sculptural shape, visual grounding, and a clean neutral base for faux florals, greenery, or decorative styling.

The True Bloom Vessel Standard

A good floral vessel should support the arrangement without making the whole room feel over-styled. This one does exactly that. The shape has enough presence to hold fuller stems, while the white finish keeps the focus on the florals rather than competing with them.

The loop handles are what make it feel a little more collected. They add shape and movement to the silhouette, which is especially useful when styling softer stems, trailing greenery, or arrangements with a more relaxed line. It has personality, but it is not auditioning for the lead role.

How to Style It

Stem count:
Best with medium to fuller arrangements, depending on stem width and shape

Vase recommendation:
Use with faux florals, greenery, sculptural branches, or a smaller liner/nursery pot if styling with live plants

Arrangement role:
Grounding vessel / sculptural neutral base

Pairing approach:
Pair with soft greenery for a clean botanical look
Use with white, blush, cream, or soft green florals for a lighter arrangement
Layer with taller stems or branches to balance the rounded vessel shape
Style alongside smaller vessels or low decorative pieces to create variation in height

Placement idea:
Works well on consoles, kitchen counters, shelves, entry tables, or larger coffee tables where a floral arrangement needs a clean but sculptural base

Quick styling formula:
1 ceramic vessel + 5–9 medium stems or greenery pieces + 2–3 taller stems for height + 1 airy element for movement

Where it Works Best

• Styled with faux florals or greenery where a neutral vessel helps soften the overall look
• Used in modern, transitional, organic, or elevated farmhouse interiors
• Placed on consoles, shelves, kitchen counters, or entry tables that need shape without extra color
• Especially useful for arrangements that need a little more visual weight at the base

Mel’s Styling Take

I like this vessel when the florals need structure but the arrangement still needs to feel relaxed. The loop handles add just enough detail to keep it from feeling plain, and the white finish makes it incredibly easy to style with almost any stem color. It is simple, but not boring — which is really the whole assignment.

Pairs Well With

• Real touch greenery or trailing stems for a fresh botanical look
  
• White, cream, blush, or soft green florals for a tonal arrangement
  
• Sculptural branches for height and movement
  
• Neutral trays, stone accents, or light wood pieces for layered styling
  
• The smaller coordinating loop handle vessel for a paired look

Good to Know

• Smooth white ceramic finish with a sculptural silhouette
• Loop handles add shape and visual interest
• No drainage holes
• Best for faux florals, decorative greenery, branches, or live plants used with a separate liner
• Large size offers more presence for fuller arrangements
• Works year-round with seasonal stem swaps

Care & Maintenance

You chose stems that last. Here’s how to make sure they do.

Faux florals are low maintenance, but not no maintenance. A little intentional care goes a long way toward keeping your stems looking the way they did the day they arrived.

Think of this page as your go-to resource. Bookmark it, come back to it, and use it whenever your arrangements need a refresh.

Every stem is chosen with intention — so it works in your home, not just in a vase.

First Things First: Know Your Stems

Not all faux florals are cared for the same way. True Bloom Floral carries three tiers, each with slightly different needs.

True Bloom stems
Our highest tier. Premium real touch stems with detailed surface coatings. Handle gently and keep completely dry.

Real Touch stems
Soft, natural-feeling stems. Clean gently using dry methods or a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Standard faux stems (including filler)
More forgiving. Can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution when needed.

When in doubt, less is more. Gentle care works for every tier.

Everyday Care: The Four Habits That Matter

1. Dust regularly
Dust dulls color and texture over time. A quick dust every 1–2 weeks keeps stems looking fresh.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight
Bright rooms are fine, but prolonged direct sun will fade colors over time, especially deeper tones.

3. Avoid heat and humidity
Keep stems away from fireplaces, radiators, kitchens, and bathrooms. Heat and moisture can damage materials.

4. Reshape as needed
Real touch stems are flexible. Gently reshape petals or bend wired stems to create natural movement.

Cleaning Your Stems

True Bloom & Real Touch Stems

These require the most careful approach.

What works:

• Soft brush (makeup brush, paintbrush, microfiber cloth)
• Hair dryer on cool, low setting (held at least 12 inches away)
• Gentle shake outdoors
• Lightly damp cloth (Real Touch only, for spot cleaning)

What to avoid:

• Submerging in water
• Harsh cleaners or sprays
• Heat or warm air

Standard Faux & Filler Stems

More flexible and easier to clean.

What works:

• All dry cleaning methods above
• Damp cloth or gentle wipe
• Mild soap solution with cool water
• Salt or cornstarch method (shake in a bag to remove dust)

What to avoid:

• Soaking stems
• Aggressive scrubbing

Reflexing Your Stems

Reflexing is a professional floral technique that opens petals outward to create a fuller, more natural look.

Why reflex?

Stems are packed tightly for shipping. Reflexing opens them up, adds dimension, and transforms the overall look.

Best stems for reflexing:

• Roses
• Peonies
• Tulips
• Gladiolus

How to reflex:

• Work slowly with your fingertips
• Gently bend outer petals backward
• Warm petals slightly between your hands if needed
• Never force anything

A reflexed stem instantly looks more elevated and intentional.

Highly Pigmented Stems

Deep tones like reds, burgundies, and jewel shades may transfer color if pressed against light surfaces for extended periods.

This is normal for richly pigmented materials.

To prevent issues:

• Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics or surfaces
• Wipe surfaces promptly if transfer occurs
• Give stems space when arranging

Storing Your Stems

How you store your stems matters just as much as how you display them.

• Store upright when possible
• Wrap loosely in tissue paper
• Use a supportive storage box
• Keep in a cool, dry, dark space
• Avoid overpacking

Giving stems space helps preserve their shape and structure.

A Note on Vases

Faux florals don’t create water stains or bacteria, but vase care still matters.

• Dust interiors regularly
• Wipe glass vases to remove smudges
• Use filler (stones or foam) to stabilize arrangements
• If adding water for aesthetics, keep real touch stems above the waterline

How Long Will My Stems Last?

With proper care, True Bloom and Real Touch stems typically last five years or more.

The three biggest factors that shorten their lifespan:

• Direct sunlight
• Dust buildup
• Poor storage

Avoid those, and your arrangements will stay beautiful for years.
