Quick Answer
Choose the Vase Médicis vert pinède for a seasonal pop of color, the blanc for timeless elegance that patinas naturally, or the noir grand modèle if you need a watertight vessel for fresh flowers.
Why Finish Matters More Than Size
The Vase Médicis is defined by its sculptural silhouette, but the finish determines how it behaves in your space. White and green are petit models (smaller scale), while the black version is a grand modèle that holds water. That functional difference may matter more than color alone.
The Patina Trade-Off
The white Vase Médicis is designed to patinate naturally over time, developing character with age. If you prefer a pristine look, this may not be your choice. The green and black models do not share that aging trait, so they stay closer to their original appearance.
How to Choose Your Vase Médicis
- For a seasonal statement: Pick the Vase Médicis vert pinède. It is a limited-edition online exclusive that brings a summer-garden green into your decor.
- For a piece that ages gracefully: Choose the Vase Médicis blanc. Its natural patina develops over time, making each vase unique. Expect the white finish to change—do not choose it if you need a uniform look.
- For fresh flowers: Select the Vase Médicis noir grand modèle. It is the only size and finish that holds water, so it works with fresh bouquets. The petit models (white and green) are not watertight; use them for dried stems or as standalone decor.
Product Facts
- Vase Médicis vert pinède - Petit modèle: The Vase Médicis vert pinède is an online-exclusive limited edition with a green tint inspired by pine needles in a summer garden. This shade works as a seasonal accent piece; if you want a permanent fixture, consider the white or black instead.
Vase Médicis vert pinède - Petit modèle - Vase Médicis blanc - Petit modèle: The white Vase Médicis is designed by studio Jean-Marc Gady and patinates naturally over time. Its evolving surface adds character but means it won't stay perfectly white—ideal if you embrace aging, less so if you want consistent color.
Vase Médicis blanc - Petit modèle - Vase Médicis noir - Grand modèle: The black grand modèle is fully molded in wax at a Portuguese high-end workshop and can hold water. It is the only Vase Médicis suitable for fresh flowers; the petit models are best for dried arrangements or display alone.
Who Should Buy Which
Best for
- Limited-edition collectors who want the vert pinède as a seasonal accent
- Minimalist decor lovers who appreciate the blanc's evolving patina
- Fresh-flower enthusiasts who need the noir grand modèle's watertight design
Not for
- Anyone who requires a watertight vase and prefers the petit models (white or green)
- Shoppers who want a consistent, unchanging white finish—the blanc patinates naturally
