A little piece of coastal calm, thoughtfully created by hand.
There is something truly special about the quiet beauty of the Australian coastline. The gentle movement of the sea, the soft colours of native vegetation, delicate seashells and the natural textures of weathered stone all provide the inspiration behind Sunday Tide Coastal.
Our Tidekeeper Bud Vase was created to capture a little of that beauty in a simple, timeless piece that can be enjoyed every day.
With its softly rounded silhouette, beautifully fluted detailing and natural stone-like finish, the Tidekeeper Bud Vase brings a gentle sense of warmth, texture and understated elegance into the home.
Whether holding a few delicate dried flowers, a treasured preserved stem or simply displayed on its own, this petite vase is designed to bring a little of the coast into your favourite spaces.
Each vase is individually handcrafted in my small creative workspace on the beautiful NSW South Coast, with careful attention given to every detail, from the initial pouring and colouring to the final protective finish.
The Story Behind Our Coastal Colours
Colour is such an important part of my creative process.
Living on the NSW South Coast, I'm constantly inspired by the natural colours and textures that surround me. From soft sandy shores and weathered coastal stone to delicate seashells and the earthy greens of native vegetation, these little details influence every colour I create.
Rather than using bold, overpowering colours, I love developing soft, natural tones that complement the beautiful organic shapes of my handmade pieces.
The Tidekeeper Bud Vase is available in three of our signature Sunday Tide Coastal colours.
Saltbush
Inspired by the gentle, earthy greens of native Australian coastal foliage, Saltbush captures the quiet beauty of our natural coastal landscape.
Featuring a beautifully subtle, pale sage-green base with warm ivory undertones and deeper olive and moss-green marbling, Saltbush has a wonderfully organic, weathered-stone appearance.
The deeper pigments flow naturally around the vase's delicate fluted detailing, creating beautiful movement and individuality throughout each piece.
The result is soft, earthy and understated, with just enough contrast to showcase the unique marbling created during the handmade process.
Shell Blush
Inspired by delicate seashells, soft coastal sands and the gentle warmth of a sunlit shoreline, Shell Blush brings a beautiful softness to the collection.
A gentle off-white base is complemented by delicate blush-pink marbling, creating graceful patterns that flow naturally through the vase.
Some pieces feature the faintest whispers of blush, while others reveal slightly more defined, flowing patterns.
Shell Blush is warm, elegant and beautifully subtle, adding a gentle touch of colour without overwhelming the natural shape and texture of the vase.
Coastal Stone
Inspired by the simplicity of sun-bleached coastal rocks, pale sandy shores and naturally weathered stone, Coastal Stone celebrates the quiet beauty of neutral colours.
With its soft, warm off-white appearance and natural stone-like texture, Coastal Stone is timeless, understated and effortlessly elegant.
Without contrasting marbling, the beautiful fluted detailing and sculptural form of the Tidekeeper Bud Vase become the focus.
Its simplicity makes it a lovely addition to almost any interior, from relaxed coastal homes to contemporary and minimalist spaces.
Each colour has been thoughtfully developed to reflect a different element of the coastline, while maintaining the soft, natural character of Sunday Tide Coastal.
Thoughtfully Handmade on the NSW South Coast
Every Tidekeeper Bud Vase is individually handcrafted by me at Sunday Tide Coastal, my small handmade business on the beautiful NSW South Coast, Australia.
My creative process begins with carefully measuring and mixing AR400 eco-resin, a mineral-based casting material that creates a beautiful, natural stone-like finish.
For my coloured collections, I individually blend specially selected pigments to achieve the soft, earthy tones inspired by our coastal surroundings.
Creating the marbling is one of my favourite parts of the process.
I carefully introduce small amounts of contrasting pigment into the mixture, gently allowing the colours to swirl and flow naturally before pouring into the mould.
Unlike manufactured patterns, the movement of pigment can never be controlled completely, meaning every pour develops its own unique character.
There is always a little moment of anticipation when I remove a piece from its mould and see how the marbling has settled.
Once the vase has set, I carefully demould it, inspect its surface and gently sand and hand-finish any areas that need attention.
The piece is then allowed to dry thoroughly before receiving protective matte sealer, applied in thin, even coats to preserve its beautiful natural appearance.
From the initial mixing and colouring to the final finishing touches, every Tidekeeper Bud Vase passes through my hands.
No two marbled vases will ever be exactly alike. Each carries its own beautiful patterns, gentle variations and individual handmade character.
This is something I truly love about creating handmade homewares. Every piece is a little different, and every piece has its own story.
A Little Beauty for Everyday Living
The Tidekeeper Bud Vase has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the beauty of simple things.
Its petite size and timeless shape make it a beautiful decorative accent for almost any space.
Perfect for:
- Displaying a few delicate dried flowers or preserved stems.
- Adding a soft, natural accent to a bedside table or dresser.
- Styling a bathroom vanity, console or bookshelf.
- Creating a simple arrangement alongside other handmade homewares.

- Giving as a thoughtful housewarming, thank-you or special little gift.
Whether displayed individually or paired with other Sunday Tide Coastal pieces, the Tidekeeper Bud Vase creates a lovely sense of calm and understated beauty.
Its softly fluted silhouette is equally beautiful standing alone, allowing the natural textures and individually created finish to take centre stage.

The Heart Behind Sunday Tide Coastal
Sunday Tide Coastal began with my love of creating beautiful, meaningful pieces inspired by the natural surroundings of the place I call home.
Living on the NSW South Coast, I'm fortunate to be surrounded by the gentle colours, organic textures and peaceful beauty that make our coastline so special.
These surroundings inspire the pieces I create and the soft, understated colours that have become part of Sunday Tide Coastal.
I believe handmade homewares should be more than simply decorative. They should bring a little warmth, individuality and a sense of connection to the spaces they become part of.
Every piece I create is thoughtfully made by hand, from carefully blending the pigments to the final finishing touches.
My hope is that when a Sunday Tide Coastal creation finds its way into your home, it brings with it a little of the calm, warmth and natural beauty of our Australian coastline.
Handmade slowly. Inspired by the coast. Created to be treasured.
