Twelve Days of Christmas Large Ceramic Book Vase – Steel Mill & Co

Some Christmas traditions are simply too lovely to keep tucked away in a book. Inspired by the beloved festive carol, this Twelve Days of Christmas Large Ceramic Book Vase transforms one of the season's most familiar songs into a beautiful piece of decorative homeware. Designed to resemble a wonderfully illustrated vintage hardback, it combines traditional Christmas colours, charming storybook artwork and a generous opening for seasonal floral displays. It's the perfect way to bring a little literary nostalgia to your Christmas decorating.

The cream-coloured front cover features the words Twelve Days of Christmas in elegant forest-green lettering, surrounded by delicate botanical illustrations, festive ribbons, leafy garlands and charming references to the traditional carol. A little drum and decorative golden rings add playful touches, while the deep red book spine features its own beautiful artwork, including candy canes tied with a bow, delicate green foliage and an illustrated bird. The richly coloured design has all the warmth and character of a treasured Christmas storybook, making it a wonderful statement piece even without flowers.

Turn the vase around and you'll discover its most delightful detail: a beautifully illustrated collection celebrating all twelve gifts from the famous Christmas song. From the partridge in a pear tree and the two turtle doves to the dancing ladies, leaping lords and drumming musicians, each illustration is arranged within a decorative botanical border. The open-topped ceramic design makes this large book vase particularly lovely for displaying festive greenery, winter flowers or dried stems. Place it on a mantelpiece, dining table, bookshelf or sideboard and enjoy a little Christmas storytelling from every angle.

A Beautiful Christmas Book Vase for Festive Decorating

Bring a little traditional Christmas charm to your home with a vase that's every bit as decorative as the flowers you put inside it. Fill it with winter greenery, dried eucalyptus, artificial berries or your favourite festive stems to create a beautiful seasonal arrangement.
