Know before you buy
Because the Mussel glaze is applied by hand, you will see subtle differences in the metallic sheen and gunmetal depth from piece to piece. These variations are a hallmark of the artisan process and ensure that your vase is truly one-of-a-kind.
Yes. The porcelain is finished with a custom-formulated glaze that makes the vessel completely liquid-impervious, so you can safely use it with water for fresh-cut flowers.
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing it with mild soap and water to preserve the integrity of the metallic glaze.
At 8.25 inches high and 5.75 inches wide, this vase is perfectly proportioned for low-profile ikebana-style arrangements or a simple, structured bouquet. Its wider base also provides excellent stability for heavier stems.
Yes, the porcelain construction is chip-resistant and sturdy. It is well-suited for holding kitchen utensils on a countertop, though you should handle it with the care typically required for fine ceramic goods.
