Know before you buy
No, each Inoue vase is individually hand-thrown and decorated. While the overall aesthetic and color palette will remain consistent, the specific dripped pattern will vary slightly from piece to piece, making yours a unique work of art.
The vase features a matte finish with a subtly rough, tactile surface. It is designed to feel organic and grounded rather than smooth or glossy.
This vase is intended for indoor use only. The porcelain material and matte finish are best preserved when kept in a climate-controlled environment.
The Inoue Medium Vase measures 8 inches in width, 7 inches in depth, and 9 inches in height.
As a hand-thrown porcelain piece, it is primarily designed as a decorative object. We recommend using it for dried botanicals or as a standalone sculptural piece rather than for fresh flowers that require water.
