Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. It is intended for decorative use or for displaying dried floral arrangements rather than holding water for fresh flowers.
Because each piece is hand-thrown and hand-decorated, there will be slight variations in the motifs and surface texture. These differences are intentional and celebrate the artisanal nature of the porcelain.
The vase is not dishwasher safe. We recommend gently wiping the surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and preserve the integrity of the hand-glazed finish.
The surface features a textured, glazed finish with intentional pitting. This design choice adds depth and a tactile, artisanal quality to the pale gray and black color palette.
The Nakamura Vase measures 9.5 inches in width, 9.5 inches in depth, and 10.75 inches in height.
