Know before you buy
The color is created through a meticulous, multi-step process that involves blowing, carving, and dipping the glass multiple times to build up layers of pigment inspired by historical Ming Dynasty techniques.
While the vase is crafted from durable glass, it is primarily designed as a decorative accent piece. Due to the intricate layered construction, we recommend using it for dried botanicals or displaying it as a standalone sculptural object.
The vase stands 8.75 inches tall and has a depth of 5.25 inches, making it a versatile size for bookshelves, mantels, or console tables.
Yes. Because each piece is individually blown and carved, you can expect subtle variations in the glass texture and color depth, which adds to the unique, artisanal character of the item.
No, this piece is specifically designed for indoor use. Exposure to direct sunlight and fluctuating outdoor temperatures may affect the integrity and vibrant finish of the layered glass over time.
