If you\u2019ve been following me for a while, you know that mental health is an important theme for me. For those who are struggling, a small gesture can sometimes make a world of difference. The feeling that you\u2019re not alone, that you are seen, that you\u2019re not a burden\u2014something small, something positive. At the same time, I know it\u2019s not always easy to find the right words or to know exactly what someone needs.<\/p>\n

While throwing the pottery, I thought: what if I make small vases with a symbolic message? Something tangible that you can give or send, with or without words. No flowers that wilt, no card where you endlessly search for the right sentence\u2014but a ceramic vase, with the imprint of a leaf from nature. Because it is precisely there, in nature, that many people find peace and comfort.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s how the idea of the wish vases came about. Each vase bears the imprint of a leaf and comes with a card explaining the symbolism of that leaf. There\u2019s also a small ceramic heart included\u2014a little extra gesture of care. The vases are bigger than mini vases, but never taller than about 10 cm. Each one is unique, handmade in various shapes and colors.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re there to give someone a little support. But also very beautiful for a birth, wedding, or just because\u2014to let someone know: I\u2019m thinking of you.<\/p>\n

The wish vases are small, hand-thrown ceramic vases featuring an imprint of a natural leaf\u2014each leaf with its own symbolism. They are intended as a meaningful gesture: to encourage someone, to congratulate them, or simply to let them know you're thinking of them.<\/p>\n

Each vase comes with a card explaining the meaning of the leaf and a small ceramic heart. No wilting flowers, no words to be said \u2013 just a tangible expression of care and connection. Each vase is unique, a maximum of 10 cm high, and made with love.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":3466,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[166],"product_tag":[167],"class_list":{"0":"post-3218","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-wensvaasje","7":"product_tag-wensvaasje","8":"product_shipping_class-postnl-pakket","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"sold-individually","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-scaled.jpg",2560,2560,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-768x768.jpg",768,768,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-1024x1024.jpg",1024,1024,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-1536x1536.jpg",1536,1536,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-2048x2048.jpg",2048,2048,true],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-12x12.jpg",12,12,true],"mailpoet_newsletter_max":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-1320x1320.jpg",1320,1320,true],"woocommerce_thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-300x300.jpg",300,300,true],"woocommerce_single":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-600x600.jpg",600,600,true],"woocommerce_gallery_thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/DSC_2997_D34-100x100.jpg",100,100,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Steffie van den Akker","author_link":"https:\/\/www.steffievandenakker.com\/en\/author\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"De wensvaasjes zijn kleine, met de hand gedraaide keramieken vaasjes met een afdruk van een blad uit de natuur \u2013 elk blad met zijn eigen symboliek.
