Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. It is designed primarily as a decorative art piece and is best suited for dried floral arrangements or as a standalone sculptural accent.
Because it is not dishwasher safe, you should clean it by gently wiping the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or using harsh cleaning agents to preserve the finish.
The opening diameter is 1.5 inches, which is ideal for a single statement stem, a small cluster of wildflowers, or delicate dried botanicals. It is specifically proportioned to highlight the beauty of individual stems rather than large bouquets.
Yes, because each piece is handcrafted in Massachusetts by Vanessa Chatwood Derby, you can expect slight variations in texture and finish. These subtle differences are a hallmark of the handmade ceramic process and make each vase unique.
The Ginkgo Bud Vase stands 4.5 inches tall and measures 4 inches in width. Its compact size makes it a versatile choice for bookshelves, bedside tables, or narrow windowsills.
