Spring flowers and vintage china vases make for an elegant pairing. We have pre-loved china vases available for every floral arrangement, whether a plentiful bunch or a single stem.

Easter is the ideal time to arrange your spring favourites as a floral table centrepiece for a family lunch or a special afternoon tea with friends.

Here are 10 vintage vases, just waiting to welcome some spring flowers.

This Aynsley Little Sweetheart hexagonal vase features flowers in elegant pastels. Our floral arrangement includes carnations, roses, gypsophila, eucalyptus, chrysanthemums and oleander in beautiful shades of pink and white.

Also from Aynsley is this beautiful Cottage Garden patterned vase. On the Mayfair shape – with its scalloped edge – this pattern features vibrant floral and butterfly motifs, ideal for our simple pairing of lisianthus and tulips in pinks and whites.

Portmeirion Botanic Garden is a popular pattern, much loved for its individual floral illustrations inspired by a book featuring hand-coloured flowers. For this vase decorated with the Rosa Canina – Dog Rose illustration, we’ve selected alstroemeria, eryngium, lisianthus, carnations and oleander, in deep through to light pink.

The Wedgwood Cornucopia pattern, with its ribboned band of dark navy and lustrous gold detailing, is brought to life with these spring tulips in stunning yellow. The Elizabethan vase is the perfect height for a flower such as the tulip, which requires good stem support.

A second option from Wedgwood is the Clementine – Plain Edge bud vase, with its globe base and slender neck. Our choice of a single eryngium stem fits the vase style beautifully and elegantly complements the pretty light blues of the floral pattern.

Keeping with the bud vase theme is Wedgwood Hathaway Rose. We’ve styled this vase with a single pink lisianthus. Its slim stems complement the narrow neck of the vase, which is finished with a fine gold trim. Simplicity at its best.

We look to Wedgwood Kutani Crane – Gold Edge for this petite posy pot, just perfect for our primrose. With its deep burgundy petals and golden yellow centre, our choice of primrose picks out the reds and pinks from within the oriental-themed pattern on the vase, which showcases a beautiful crane.

The soft pinks and whites of lisianthus and tulips, displayed in the Johnson Brothers Summer Chintz vase, enhance the pink accents and delicate floral detail in the popular pattern. With its octagon shape, the vase lets the flowers splay in a gentle, open arrangement.

We finish with two more bud vases – perfect for displaying spring flowers.

This Aynsley Pembroke bud vase has an unusual square body. Its vibrant floral and bird motif pattern, enhanced by an elegant gold trim, was inspired by 18th-century Asian art. We’ve paired this ornate pattern with a simple lisianthus, framed by gypsophila. It doesn’t need anything more.

If you liked the look of the Aynsley Cottage Garden vase above, then here it is again – this time adorning an elegant bud vase. The butterfly motif is the standout feature of this vase, which has a globe body shape. With pink oleander and yellow freesias, this arrangement and vase combination is perfect for an Easter table.

When we picture a vase, its often a glass one. But here are just 10 of many elegant china vases perfect for this time of year.
