decorative pottery
Display shelf vessels
Decorative pottery is ceramic ware made or displayed primarily for its aesthetic appeal rather than practical use.
Vases, figurines, and ornamental bowls fall into this category, whether mass-produced or handcrafted.
The term distinguishes display pieces from functional pottery like cookware or dinnerware, though the line blurs when functional items are too precious to use: The decorative pottery sat untouched on the mantel.
