13" Black Terracotta Decorative Vase
Black Terracotta Amphora Vase with Stub Handles | 13 Inch | Terracotta Vase
The silhouette draws from ancient vessel forms: a wide belly curving up to a full shoulder, the neck pulling inward before opening to a wide flat rim. Two small stub handles sit at the upper shoulder, barely protruding, their presence more visual reference than functional. The entire surface is matte flat black, the terracotta clay showing subtle tonal variation across the rounded form where light grazes differently along the belly and shoulder curves.
At 9.5 by 9.5 by 13 inches the presence is substantial for an accessory -- the height carries past the 12-inch mark where most vases disappear in a shelf arrangement. The matte black surface absorbs ambient light without return, the silhouette reading as a dark solid form in both daylight and warm evening lamp. Against pale linen, stone, or plaster, the dark amphora anchors without competing. The common mistake with pieces like this is pairing them with other dark forms -- the silhouette needs clear contrast to be read.
The Jovi Vase from Moe's Home Collection measures 9.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches deep and 13 inches tall. Terracotta with matte black finish, stub handles at shoulder. At 7.3 lbs it holds position.

Moe's Home Collection:Forty Years of Furniture With a Point of View
Some brands earn trust loudly. Moe's has never needed to. The evidence shows up in rooms, season after season, in pieces that end up feeling more considered than their owners quite anticipated. More grounded. More alive.
That doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone decided, a long time ago, that material and craft were worth the extra conversation, and never really stopped having it.
A Design House, Not a Furniture Factory
The Pieces Feel Found - Not Simply Bought
The Origin
A Family That BuiltSomething From Nothing
Moe Samieian Sr. arrived in Canada with an engineering degree and almost nowhere to use it. So he sold rugs at road shows, worked on commission, and learned the retail floor through years of direct customer contact.
In 1986 he opened his first store in Vancouver. Walking the trade shows, he kept noticing the same thing: most furniture looked identical. So he started hunting for pieces with something to say. Antiques. Flea-market finds. Objects with texture and history. More stores followed, and in 1999 he moved decisively into wholesale.
His children Sara and Moe Jr. carried that instinct forward. Not what merely sells. What resonates. That distinction still drives every collection.
The materials earn their place. Wood warms the edges. Stone steadies the eye. Steel adds tension. Glass lets the composition breathe. A hand-worked surface keeps a modern room from feeling too resolved.
The goal was never perfection. It was presence.

The Craft
Material First - Trend Second
Every collection is designed in-house, then built through a manufacturing network developed over decades. Vietnam, India, Italy, Poland, Canada, the USA. Not the lowest-cost option in any of those places. Long-term makers who've been held to the same standards long enough that the standards stopped needing to be explained.
The construction is what you'd expect from that kind of relationship. Solid hardwood frames. High-density foam. Hardware that doesn't announce itself by failing early. These are not selling points so much as baseline expectations that a lot of furniture quietly fails to meet.
The materials go further than that. Acacia grain that no engineered surface comes close to replicating. Stone that grounds a room both visually and physically, which are different things and both matter. Mixed metals chosen for tension rather than coordination. FSC-certified wood and responsible sourcing throughout, though the more honest argument for it shows up over time, in how the pieces age rather than what the spec sheet says.
- Moe's does not source furniture. It curates it.
