Know before you buy

This vase is designed specifically for indoor use. While the ceramic is durable, it is best kept inside to protect the hand-painted finish from extreme weather conditions and direct sunlight.
To preserve the vibrant colors and intricate brushwork, we recommend hand-washing the vase with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the glaze.
