Know before you buy
Dry cast stone is a manufacturing process that uses a low-moisture mix, resulting in a denser, more durable product that closely mimics the texture and appearance of natural quarried limestone. It is highly resistant to weathering and is designed to age gracefully in outdoor environments.
Yes, the vase is designed to develop a natural patina over time. As it is exposed to moisture and the elements, the limestone finish will gradually darken and weather, giving it an authentic, antique appearance.
Due to its substantial weight, this vase requires a firm, level surface such as a stone patio, a concrete pad, or a reinforced landscape base. We recommend avoiding soft soil or uneven ground, as the weight could cause the piece to settle or tilt over time.
Yes, the Vulliamy Vase features a hollow interior suitable for planting. However, ensure you provide adequate drainage at the base if you intend to plant directly into the urn to prevent water accumulation.
While the dry cast stone is robust, it is not freezer-safe. In regions with harsh winters, we recommend elevating the vase off the ground or covering it to prevent moisture from freezing inside the base or bowl, which could potentially cause cracking.
