Know before you buy
With an opening diameter of 0.75 inches, this vase is designed for a minimalist look. It works best with one to three delicate stems, such as a single ranunculus or a small sprig of greenery.
The vase features a high-quality, glossy Opaque White glaze that is non-porous and easy to wipe clean. While the finish is durable, we recommend rinsing it periodically to prevent mineral buildup from hard water.
We advise using a coaster or a protective mat. Because the base is handcrafted ceramic, direct contact with wood surfaces can occasionally cause minor scratches or marks.
Yes, the vase is dishwasher safe. However, to preserve the integrity of the glaze and prevent potential chipping, we recommend using a gentle detergent and placing it on the top rack.
Yes. Being handcrafted in Sausalito, each piece may have slight variations in the glaze application or shape, which is a hallmark of the Heath Ceramics process and adds to the unique character of the object.
