Claude Monet may have insisted on flowers 'always, and always' but we must have flowers, AND plants, AND cool vases and planters to house them in, always, and always, thank you very much!
So here are 2 planters and 4 gift-able vases from 3 cool homegrown brands for those who love decorating with flowers, and know that selecting a planter is just as critical as choosing the furniture!
1) Water Tower 1 Concrete Planter
Part of the Siment collection of concrete planters inspired by India's water towers, this conversation piece by Tiipoi preserves the architectural character of the original and scales it down into functional decor. Coated with a waterproof sealant, it perfectly houses a 5.5 cm pot.
Price: Rs. 6500
A miniaturised version of the flyover pillars that have dominated Bangalore's landscape since the late 1990s, this recipient of a 2019 Wallpaper* design award takes the functional details of brutalist infrastructure—geometric ridges, raw surface texture—and turns them into something quietly beautiful. Cast in concrete from a silicone mould, each vase comes coated with a waterproof sealant.
Price: Rs. 7000
Ethically handcrafted by skilled artisans in Firozabad, this glass vase seamlessly merges traditional handblown artistry with clean, modern design. While it comes in three distinct finishes, the warm, earthy depth of the Haze Brown colourway is our absolute favourite.
Price: Rs. 1990
While we love a grand centerpiece, we are equally big fans of petite vases that make single stems or small bouquets feel like tiny art installations. This set of two mini glass vases would make a great housewarming or birthday gift for anyone who loves decorating with flowers, and must have them 'always, and always'.
Price: Rs. 1490
5) Tiptoe Stoneware Sculpture Vase
Hand-sculpted in stoneware clay with naturally occuring imperfections and irregularities, we love how the Tiptoe Stoneware Sculpture Vase marries sculptural, playful decor with everyday functionality, both acting as whimsical decor and turning a few stems into a striking conversation piece!
Price: Rs. 9500
6) V-Neck Stoneware Planter with Stand
Hand-sculpted in stoneware clay with an off-white glaze, we love how this sculptural planter from Claymen offers your favourite plant babies the stage they deserve! Comes with a black metal stand.
Price: Rs. 8500
