Black basalt, sometimes referred to as black jasperware, is one of Wedgwood’s most celebrated bodies, prized for its dense, fine-grained texture and velvety finish. It was originally developed in the late 18th century to echo the look of carved stone and classical antiquities, and it remains highly sought after by collectors worldwide. This pair exemplifies the purity of that tradition: understated, elegant, and unmistakably Wedgwood.

The minimalist conical form lends these vases remarkable versatility. They are equally at home in a refined period setting alongside antique furniture and gilt mirrors, or in a modern interior where their clean lines and monochrome palette complement contemporary art and design. Display them empty as sculptural objects, or use them to showcase tall stems, seasonal branches, or simple greenery for a gallery-like effect.
