Know before you buy
Each vase is individually handcrafted by pressing actual Basswood leaves into the stoneware clay before it is fired. This process captures the intricate veins and natural shape of the foliage, ensuring that no two pieces have the exact same impression.
Yes, the vase is made from high-fired stoneware, which is non-porous and watertight. It is perfectly suitable for holding water for seasonal stems or small floral arrangements.
While the high-fire stoneware is durable, we recommend hand-washing this piece to preserve the integrity of the delicate leaf impressions and the glaze finish over time.
You can expect slight variations in both the color and the specific leaf pattern compared to the product photos. These differences are a hallmark of the artisanal process and ensure that your vase is a one-of-a-kind object.
The vase's compact size and stable base make it a great vessel for incense. You can place a stick of incense in the opening, allowing the vase to catch the ash as it burns.
