A vintage ceramic pomander with hand-painted lavender-toned petals and soft green foliage, refilled with freshly dried British lavender. Inside sits a sachet of antique lace, quietly holding the scent in place and allowing it to gently release over time.

This piece has been carefully cleaned and restored, part of a desire to take the old and overlooked and make it useful again. Every element, from the reused vessel to the lace and fragrant herbs, reflects a slower, more thoughtful approach to scent and sustainability.

Marked with visible age, fine crazing and a lovely sense of time passed, it’s finished with a thank-you seal beneath, ready to be placed in a drawer, on a shelf, or gifted as a fragrant keepsake.

• Vintage ceramic with hand-painted floral design

Marked with visible age, fine crazing, and a lovely sense of time passed, the base has been sealed with a vintage-style thank-you label, used here to cover the filling point. It’s a practical solution, and the only one I had to hand, adding an unexpected little detail to this quietly repurposed piece.

Sustainability Note:

Rescued, restored, and gently reimagined, each piece in this collection is part of a circular story. Using what already exists, and adding care, softness, and scent. Even the smallest details, like sealing the base with a found label, reflect a preference for resourcefulness over waste. It's not always perfect, but it’s always thoughtful.
