Michael Aram Gardenia Bud Vase

The Gardenia Bud Vase is Michael Aram's most romantically conceived piece — luminous white enamel gardenia petals over natural brass leaves, 5"L × 4.76"W × 5.24"H, in stainless steel with natural brass accents. A single stem of a rose, a ranunculus, a gardenia itself, or a small tight arrangement sits inside a sculptural object that earns its place on a bedside table, a bathroom counter, or a desk whether it holds a flower or not. At $150 it is the most accessible entry point to the Gardenia Collection — and one of the most compelling objects in Michael Aram's current range.

The Gardenia Collection is a relatively recent addition to Michael Aram's catalogue, drawing on a flower he associates with romance and "lush, light-dappled" gardens. Where the Orchid collections lean into purity and ethereal grace, Gardenia leans into warmth and abundance — the fullness of the bloom itself translated into white enamel petals of considerable detail and golden brass leaves that catch the light differently depending on the angle. Each vase is handcrafted individually; slight variation in the enamel and brass surface is the hallmark of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Gardenia Bud Vase differ from the Orchid Bud Vase?
The Gardenia Bud Vase features white enamel gardenia petals — fuller, more rounded, and warmer in character than the Orchid's more elongated, delicate bloom. The Gardenia reads as romantic and abundant; the Orchid as ethereal and precise. Both are brass and enamel in similar scale.

What flowers suit it?
Gardenias, roses, ranunculus, peonies, anemones, or any single full-headed bloom that suits the generous opening. Also beautiful as a standalone sculptural object without any flower.

Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Wipe with a soft damp cloth only. Do not soak or use abrasive cleaners on the enamel or brass.

Is this a good gift?
Yes — at $150 it's one of the most accessible and visually impactful pieces in the current Michael Aram range. Ships in original Michael Aram packaging, suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, and housewarmings.
