Know before you buy
Because the vase is crafted from natural Egyptian clay, soaking it helps seal the pores of the material. This simple step ensures the vessel is better prepared to hold water and prevents seepage.
Yes, the three-pronged design is specifically engineered to function as both a vase and a candle holder. It provides a stable base for standard pillar candles, adding a sculptural element to your tabletop.
Because every vase is individually handcrafted by master potter Mohamed Mahmoud, you will notice subtle differences in the exact shade of the earth oxide finish and the dimensions. These variations are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your piece is one-of-a-kind.
Yes, the vase is finished with a lead-free glaze. It is perfectly safe for indoor display and functional use as a vase or candle holder.
To maintain the integrity of the clay and glaze, please hand wash the vase gently in warm water. It is not dishwasher, microwave, or oven safe.
The vase is not inherently waterproof due to the nature of the clay. We recommend soaking it before use to improve its water-holding capacity, but it is best to place it on a protective surface if you are concerned about moisture.
