"Roman" Medium Spherical Base Vase – Pols Potten
Let yourself be seduced by the perfect geometric balance of this version of the "Roman" vase, designed by the Dutch design house Polspotten. Combining a spherical bulbous base with a long straight neck, this wrought iron piece revisits the archetype of antique pottery with a contemporary radicalism. Covered with the brand's signature matte sandblasted finish, this model is available individually in two shades: a timeless matte black or a decidedly modern soft lilac.
Visual Impact: Geometric Poetry and Purity of Curves
This model beautifully plays on contrasting volumes and three-dimensional symmetry.
A Bulbous and Airy Silhouette: Unlike the tall, slender model, this version anchors its silhouette in a perfect sphere. Three circular metal handles articulate around the cylindrical neck, creating a play of transparency and roundness visible from all angles.
The Signature Sandblasted Finish (Powder Coated): The matte powder coating eliminates all metallic reflections, giving the wrought iron the delicate appearance of biscuit ceramic or raw mineral.
Two Chromatic Temperaments:
Deep Black: Graphic, powerful, and sculptural. In this version, the vase creates a perfect shadow play that highlights the purity of the brutalist design.
Lilac / Pastel Mauve: A soft, poetic, and avant-garde shade. This color adds a subtle touch of chromatic freshness, ideal for softening a contemporary interior.
Features
Three-Dimensional Aesthetic: Equipped with three ideally spaced handles, this vase has no "front" or "back". It is designed to be admired from 360°, making it the ideal piece for a table center or kitchen island.
Sold Individually: Designed for flexibility, allowing you to choose the exact shade that suits your interior palette, or to combine the Black/Lilac duo for a strong visual contrast.
Stability and Forged Quality: Its rounded base conceals a perfectly flat and weighted seat thanks to its iron construction, offering excellent stability for your branches.

💡 Gallerist's Style Tip
"This spherical 'Roman' model offers a very poetic presence. To honor its design inspired by Giorgio Morandi's still lifes, I advise displaying it on light wood furniture or a travertine console. It pairs beautifully as a duo, by placing the Lilac version slightly in front of the Black model to create a fascinating interplay of chromatic superposition and depth."
