Know before you buy
Yes, the Marine Vase is suitable for holding flowers. However, because it is handcrafted from wood and straw, we recommend using a waterproof liner or a small glass insert inside to protect the interior from moisture.
Split straw marquetry is a traditional technique where individual wheat strands are specially dried, treated, and flattened before being applied to a solid wood base. Each piece requires over 40 hours of meticulous hand-application to create the intricate, textured patterns you see.
No, the Marine Vase is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to direct sunlight, humidity, or outdoor elements may damage the natural wheat strands and the wood base over time.
To keep the vase in top condition, simply dust it periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water, household cleaners, or chemical polishes, as these can compromise the natural finish of the straw.
Because each Marine Vase is handcrafted in Colombia using natural materials, there will be slight variations in the straw's color and pattern. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.
