Know before you buy
No, each piece is unique. Because the vessel is hand-thrown and features individual hand-done indentations, there will be slight variations in shape and texture, ensuring your piece is one-of-a-kind.
This vessel is primarily designed as a decorative accent piece. We recommend using it for dried botanicals or faux stems, as the porous nature of terracotta may not be fully watertight.
The vessel weighs 2.5 lbs. Its 8-inch balanced base provides excellent stability, making it a secure choice for styling on bookshelves, mantels, or console tables.
To preserve the hand-finished texture, simply dust the vessel periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the terracotta surface.
The vessel features a raw terracotta finish. If you are placing it on a delicate surface like polished wood or glass, we recommend using a small felt pad or coaster underneath to prevent any potential scratching.
