Know before you buy
While it is made of ceramic, the Chapeau Vase is primarily designed as a standalone art piece. Due to its unique organic shape and handcrafted nature, we recommend using it as a sculptural focal point rather than a functional vessel for water and stems.
Because each vase is handcrafted by Claire Pain using coil and plate techniques, every piece is unique. You can expect slight variations in the glazed finish and form, which are intentional characteristics of the artist's process.
The Chapeau Vase measures 8 inches in height, 11.5 inches in width, and 10.75 inches in depth.
To preserve the glazed finish, gently dust the vase with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or submerging the piece in water, as these could potentially damage the delicate ceramic surface.
No, the Chapeau Vase is an artist-designed piece created by French artist Claire Pain. Each creation is either a one-of-a-kind artwork or part of a limited series, reflecting the artist's focus on organic form and material contrast.
