Pitch me! Farmhouse dreams come true with pitcher vases

Writer's picture: Green Doors TeamGreen Doors Team

There is something so familiar and comforting about the traditional pitcher shape. Both functional and beautiful, it's no wonder this has become a modern farmhouse decor standard - perfect for displaying anything from spring blossoms to fall branches.

On its own, a pitcher is a sleek, eye-catching sculptural element, perfect for a focal point on a shelf or mantel.


As a vessel for a bursting bouquet of blossoms, or a spare arrangement of branches, it becomes a partner in your creative vision for your home.


At Green Doors, we comb through lots of pitcher-style vases available on the market to select our favorites for you - substantial ceramic pieces that look like they've been passed down for generations, or unearthed in the corner of an old barn.

More ways to pour on the farmhouse style:

  • Add a set of utensils and tea towels for a charming housewarming gift.

  • Stage multiple pitchers in the same color family for an interesting, layered vignette.

  • Use a drilling tool (with the appropriate attachments for ceramics!) to create drainage, and pot up your favorite herbs, or forced bulbs for winter blooms.


Dreamy antique style


Admire its timeless shape on its own, or fill it with seasonal botanicals as a centerpiece for your family gatherings. From French country farmhouse to old Americana, you'll evoke a simpler time with the perfect ceramic pitcher.

Do you like an empty vessel as a sculptural element, or are you keeping it full of foraged finds?
