Frequently Asked Questions
Who designs the Stem & Vessel pieces?

Our Melbourne studio designs them. Stem & Vessel is house brand art: ready-made pieces we sell under our own name. The design line says it plainly: Designed by our talented team in Melbourne using digital tools. You will see the brand name as the byline. From there the file is printed, as an archival giclée paper print or on canvas.

How is a Stem & Vessel piece printed?

You get a printed piece with a painted look. We design each one digitally, then print it. Paper pieces are archival giclée prints on 200gsm matte stock; canvas pieces are printed on 400gsm canvas over a stretcher.

Which rooms suit Stem & Vessel pieces?

Living rooms, bedrooms and hallways all work well. Our room pictures show pairings you can copy. A pair of 18 x 24 in canvases sits above a sofa; one 24 x 36 in canvas hangs above a bed. You can also lean an 8 x 10 in and an 11 x 14 in framed print together on a mantel or shelf, no mat.

What sizes can I choose?

You pick the size you want from the options on each artwork page. Art prints and framed prints come in 8 x 10 in, 11 x 14 in and 16 x 20 in. Larger pieces run through 18 x 24 in and 24 x 36 in, with art prints extending to 36 x 48 in and 40 x 60 in and framed prints to 28 x 40 in and 33 x 47 in, and canvas sizes are listed per artwork. Sizes vary by piece, since a shape is listed only when the composition survives the trim and the file holds enough detail. For your own photo, our custom Canvas Prints and Framed Prints products are the route.

Flowers and fruit in a painted look


Stem & Vessel keeps to one subject: flowers standing in vases and jugs, fruit resting in bowls. Each piece reads as a still life first and a color story second, so a single canvas can carry a small wall on its own. Ranunculus and Lemons, Tulips and Pears and Lemon Bowl show the range. You will find the whole range in the wider wall art collection.


How a Stem & Vessel piece is made


Every piece is designed digitally with a painted look, then printed as a giclée. Choose an unframed art print on 200gsm archival matte paper. Or take a framed print under clear acrylic, or a canvas on a stretcher about 1.5 in deep with mirrored edges. Thin wood frames come in oak look, black or white, with an optional white mat. Each artwork shows the sizes it prints best at, and the preview shows the crop that prints.


Pairs that brighten a wall


Most pieces here are made to hang in company, many in pairs and some in sets of 3. Other subjects live in clay & ink and birds & botanicals. Our room pictures show a pair of 18 x 24 in canvases over a sofa and one 24 x 36 in canvas above a bed. An 8 x 10 in and an 11 x 14 in framed print lean together on a mantel, no mat. A common guide puts art at about two thirds of the width of the furniture under it.
