Tihany Black Amphora Vase

Tihany Vase is a vase in the form of an amphora from LoftModern Curations, a tall black jar with a rolled rim, arched handles at the shoulders and a flat strap at the front.

It has a wide belly that narrows toward a firm foot, a classical profile in a flat, dark finish.

The Design Story

Tihany borrows its shape from storage jars of the ancient world and renders it in matte black. The shoulders carry two loop handles, and a third, flat strap runs from the rim down the front. The surface is slightly uneven and soft in tone, like old iron or burnt clay, with no shine to interrupt the outline. It looks as if it came out of a kiln.

Why You’ll Love It

Its weight and darkness give a room a firm accent, and it works for dried branches, tall grasses or on its own as an object. Against white walls it reads like a drawing.
