Know before you buy
No, the vase is not waterproof. Because it is a hand-built ceramic piece, it is intended primarily for decorative use or for displaying dried floral arrangements.
Since the vessel is not waterproof, it is not suitable for holding water. If you wish to use fresh flowers, we recommend placing a separate glass or plastic liner inside to protect the ceramic from moisture.
The vase stands 11.25 inches tall and has a diameter of 11.25 inches, making it a substantial piece for a tabletop or console display.
Each Athena Vase is a unique work of art created by Courtney Gertler. While the design remains consistent, you should expect slight variations in the texture and finish that are characteristic of authentic studio pottery.
The vase is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply wipe the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and maintain the integrity of the textured finish.
The Athena Vase is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements may damage the ceramic material and the textured finish.
