Highland Stoneware Thistle Vase, Handcrafted in Scotland

Handcrafted in the Scottish Highlands, this signed Highland Stoneware vase features hand-painted thistles and a bumblebee—a timeless piece of Scottish artistry.

In the far northwest of Scotland, where the land meets mist and sea, Highland Stoneware has been crafting pieces that feel alive with the spirit of the Highlands. This small vase, hand-thrown and hand-painted, carries that legacy in every brushstroke.

The Scottish thistle—bold yet tender—is rendered here in vivid tones of violet and green, accented by a single bumblebee hovering among the blooms. Each curve and color feels both intentional and instinctive, as if the artist painted from memory rather than sight.

No two pieces are ever alike. Each one bears the maker’s mark, a quiet signature of human touch and time. Standing just under five inches tall, it’s the perfect size for wildflowers gathered on a morning walk—or to rest empty, as a small sculpture in its own right.

Made in Scotland. Signed by the artist. A celebration of the land and the hand that shaped it.
