Brigadier Vase
Best sculptural accent for narrow console tables and bedside surfaces.

Due to its material and finish, this vase is not watertight and requires a liner if used with water to prevent corrosion.

Know before you buy
The vase is not watertight. If you plan to use it for fresh flowers, you must place a liner inside to prevent water from coming into contact with the aluminum and causing corrosion.
The finish is a complex, hand-applied patina that blends gold, bronze, and white tones. Because it is hand-hammered, each piece has a unique, textured appearance that catches the light differently.
Yes, the submarine shape is specifically designed with a narrow profile, making it an excellent choice for slim surfaces like console tables, mantels, or nightstands where space is limited.
To maintain the patina, simply dust the vase periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the hand-hammered finish.
The hand-hammering creates a distinct, tactile texture that adds visual depth to the piece. While it is not perfectly smooth, it is finished to be a decorative accent that is safe to handle.
