Know before you buy
Because this vase is crafted from terracotta and features a hand-applied glaze, it is primarily intended for decorative use. We recommend using a waterproof liner if you plan to display fresh flowers with water to protect the integrity of the piece.
The delicate, handmade flowers create a textured surface that can collect dust. Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth or a gentle dusting brush to carefully clean between the floral details without damaging the glaze.
This piece is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to harsh outdoor elements, such as direct sunlight or freezing temperatures, may compromise the terracotta material and the finish of the glaze.
Yes. Because each vase is hand-thrown and the flowers are applied by hand by artisans, no two pieces are exactly alike. You may notice slight variations in the depth of the blue glaze and the placement of the floral details, which is a hallmark of its artisanal production.
With its 11.5-inch height and depth, this vase works best as a standalone statement piece on a console table, bookshelf, or coffee table. Its rich blue tone and intricate texture make it an ideal focal point for neutral-toned spaces.
