Know before you buy
No, the vase is not waterproof. It is designed primarily as a sculptural object, so if you choose to use it with fresh flowers, we recommend placing a small glass or waterproof liner inside to prevent water from seeping through the porcelain.
To maintain the finish, spot clean the exterior with mild soap and water using a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbers, as these can damage the delicate matte texture of the unglazed porcelain.
No, this vase is not dishwasher safe. Due to its sculptural design and high-fired porcelain construction, it should only be cleaned by hand.
This piece is intended for indoor use only. The unglazed porcelain finish is best preserved when kept away from the elements and direct outdoor exposure.
The vase measures 9 inches in diameter and 11.5 inches in height. Its oversized, sculptural profile makes it an ideal centerpiece for a dining table, console, or bookshelf.
Yes, while the exterior features a matte, unglazed finish to highlight the sculpted details, the interior is glazed. This makes the inside easier to clean if you decide to use it for floral arrangements.
