Vintage or antique vases are the PERFECT addition to your apartment, especially if you’re going for that organic modern, rustic feel. But finding them at a budget-friendly price is definitely a challenge within itself. These vases can often go for hundreds of dollars and I don’t know about you, but I just CAN NOT afford that at the moment.
I wanted the “look” without the insanely unrealistic price tag, so I scoured the internet to find the best affordable vintage-looking vases and vessels that won’t break your bank!! Here are some of the keywords I used to find these vases below (in case you’d like to do some of your own searching as well): vintage, antique, rustic, distressed, ceramic, textured, aged, etc.
Even though a lot of these options are super affordable, they look super high-end. They aren’t authentically vintage or antique however, they still give you that vintage vibe that will add tons of texture and character to your space.
Additionally, these are decor pieces that you can mix and match and incorporate into any room, whether you’re moving into a new apartment or just simply switching things around in your current home. When it comes to vases and vessels, I truly believe you can never have enough!!
Let’s get into it…
Vintage Vases at Bed Bath & Beyond
These Bed Bath & Beyond vases are such amazing finds. They are both currently on *CLEARANCE* and soon to be sold out!! Head to your local store now or place an order online. Perfect for a little spring refresh.

Vintage Vases at Target
Of course, I had to include Target in this post. They are my go-to for any budget-friendly decor finds. These options look super high-end and people will be SHOCKED that they are from Target.

Vintage Vases at Marshalls & Kohl’s
Everyone is sleeping on Marshalls and Kohl’s!! They have some great home finds and these are some of them. Unbeatable prices and you can totally style them in so many different ways.
Vintage Vases at Afloral & Magnolia
Most people think of faux greenery or dried florals when they think of Afloral, but they also have other decor items that are so cute! Same with Magnolia. Most think of their Target line as being the affordable option. However, there are some budget-friendly finds on the Magnolia website that would surprise you. These options below are definitely reasonably priced, especially for the high-end look they all provide.
Vintage Vases at West Elm
What might surprise you about West Elm is that their vases/vessels are pretty reasonably priced. At least in comparison to some of the authentic vintage, antique ones. Most of these are under $100, so definitely check them out if that’s within your budget!!
Vintage Vases at Pottery Barn
When it comes to Pottery Barn, they have my heart. Honestly, their vases/vessels are my go-to, especially for inspiration. I love the shape of these, they’re reasonably priced and definitely accessible. If these are within your budget, I’d check these out.
Vintage Vases at Anthropologie
Anthropologie is another great place to look for aged vessels or vases! These totally give that rustic, vintage vibe, as if they have been sitting out in the sun for yearsss.
Vintage Vases at McGee & Co.
I feel like McGee & Co. is super similar to Magnolia. Most people associate their “cheaper” items with their Target line. However, there are some reasonably priced finds within the McGee & Co. line that will surprise you! Of course, the larger the vase/vessel, the more expensive it is. But some of these mini ones are so cute and would add lots of depth and visual interest to your space.
Vintage Vases at Kirkland’s Home
I definitely might have saved the best for last!! Everyone is SLEEPING on Kirkland’s Home. Their website has some super cute decor finds, all at amazing prices. Like, truly unbeatable things – I was in shock! These vintage-looking vases totally look like the real thing. They have so many different colors (clearly I love the brown, earthy-colored ones most as I’ve linked them below) and shapes for all of your decorating needs. Totally worth browsing their website if you’ve never looked before!!

Another great place to look, especially for authentic vintage/antique vases is Etsy! They are definitely a bit more expensive, but suuuper pretty and amazing investment pieces. If you’re working on curating your home, I would definitely look into the options on Etsy. Even if you’re in a temporary apartment, you could start collecting these pieces now as they are so versatile and can be styled in so many different ways!! Whatever works with your budget 😊.
**And a REMINDER that just because someone else’s home looks so put together on social media, doesn’t mean you need to get your’s looking like that tomorrow. Decorating takes time and money! Everyone has their own timeline, so try your best to not compare yourself with what you see online (plus it could have taken them years to get to that spot now).
If you’ve made it all the way to the end…
I hope you found this list of affordable vintage-looking vases to be helpful, especially if you’re in the process of finding some decor pieces for your apartment.
