Maitland-Smith Accessories White Hammer Shell Inlaid Lidded Vase, Floral Brass Decor With Shell Accents 2100-472: No need to decorate this one. It’s a beauty on its own.<\/p><\/div>\n

It\u2019s impossible to think of vases and not have Greek culture conjured into that thought as well. It was the Greeks that first developed pottery. Greek vases survived in more numbers compared to the number of other historical ceramic pieces.<\/p>\n

It was during 550 to 480 BC that Athenian potters were viewed as accomplished artists. They were able to perfect the infamous black figure then introduced the red figure method. The mid-6th-century welcomed the addition of vase surface d\u00e9cor. This was done by painting on a potash, clay and iron mixture.<\/p>\n

If you have seen the red-figure style on the Disney movie Hercules<\/em>, then you would know what vases during that time looked like. Scenes were also painted on these vases, as are mythical heroes, and satyrs.<\/p>\n

Vases Mean Practicality <\/strong><\/p>\n

Greek vases are practical design elements because they are made with standard shapes but each one having a specific purpose. Some vases, back in the day, were used to store wine. Some were used for storing olive oil. Still, others are used to store liquids to cool or heat them.<\/p>\n

Vase Materials <\/strong><\/p>\n

The most common materials used in manufacturing vases are terracotta, glass, and ceramics. Nowadays, other materials are also being used such as bronze, aluminum, bronze and much more.<\/p>\n

Decorating Vases <\/strong><\/p>\n
If you have an empty vase in your hand, then it\u2019s time to bring out your creative side. As you do so, don\u2019t forget to have fun, okay?<\/p>\n
Now, remember that vases are no longer just there as vessels for flowers. They can also be spruced up for a different function. If you want to get really artistic about this project, then you can begin by using colored and patterned masking tape.<\/p>\n
Get some masking tape from your local craft outlet (the colorful types) then create. Conjure the funkiest designs or do something simple. You don\u2019t need to be a real artist<\/em> just so you can make your vase look amazing.<\/p>\n
Do you have some balls or unused yarn in your home? Rather than have these become cat toys, why not have the plain vases wrapped? Choose any color \u2013 there\u2019s no limit to this \u2013 and create texture as well as an unexpected pop of color in any room.<\/p>\n
If the yarn doesn\u2019t work for you, then go with ribbons. This is even an easier project compared to the yarn-covered vase. To achieve, overlap different hues of ribbons and use the finished product inside the kitchen, craft room or the home office.<\/p>\n
You can also use clay in creating petal or flower appliques for any plain vase. This should give any room a feminine touch.<\/p>\n
There are many other methods of decorating a glass vase. A simple driftwood can make a huge difference when you arrange it together with some flowers, fresh leaves, and clear water. If you\u2019re more of a fruit person, then use fruit wheels <\/em>to decorate your glass vase. Get the look by adding water to the vase then adding some sliced lemons or oranges. If you want, you can still add flowers to this arrangement.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re the minimalist type, then you can fill cylindrical glass vases with water then place a big frond inside. Be sure to have it firmly set so that it won\u2019t float away. The green tone will surely add the needed pop of color in your space.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re running out of ideas, don\u2019t fret. Even Monstera leaves can be used to add impact. In fact, these have been used by a lot of interior designers and florists to cover stems inside the glass vase. You can then add fresh leaves to complete the green ensemble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
