A tall vase with a chevron-ribbed body in chalky cream, worn back to a warm terracotta base.
Clement is a tall vase cast in magnesia composite with a deep chevron rib running down the body, like a herringbone or a feather. The chalky cream surface is worn back over a terracotta-toned base, so the raised ribs read pale while the recesses show the warm clay underneath.
At 46.5cm it stands on the floor in a corner or on a console as a piece on its own. Fill it with tall dried branches, bare stems, pampas or foraged twigs. The texture and the worn finish carry it, so it looks good standing empty too.

How to style it
Clement is a floor-scale vase that holds its own. A few ways:
Stand tall dried branches or bare twigs in it for height
Place it on the floor in a corner or beside a console
Leave it empty as a sculptural piece where the texture can be seen
Stylist's Tip
Keep the styling spare. One or two tall branches with a bit of movement suit the ribbed body better than a dense arrangement, which hides the texture that makes it.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth. The magnesia is porous and not sealed, so use Clement as a dry vase for branches and dried stems, or drop a glass or plastic liner inside if you want fresh flowers in water. Keep it indoors and out of damp, and wipe up any spills promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put water in it?
It is magnesia and not sealed for water, so it is best as a dry vase for branches and dried stems. For fresh flowers, sit a glass or plastic liner inside.
How tall is it?
46.5cm, with a widest diameter of about 25cm. It is a floor or large console scale.
What is it made of?
Cast magnesia composite with a chevron-ribbed body, finished chalky cream over a terracotta-toned base.
Is the colour uniform?
No, it is a two-tone distressed finish, pale ribs over warm clay, and it varies a little from piece to piece.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, not identical. The finish is applied by hand, so the wear and the cream over terracotta vary from piece to piece.
Because Clement is hand-finished, slight variations in tone, texture and the terracotta showing through are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
