Know before you buy

To maintain the finish, simply wipe the vase gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or liquid cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the paper maché construction.
The vase features a textured, distressed surface. While it has a clear lacquer finish for protection, the underlying paper maché construction provides a tactile, organic feel.

No, each piece is handcrafted from recycled newspapers. Because of the artisanal process, you can expect slight variations in the texture and finish, which adds to the unique, aged character of the vase.
