Know before you buy
Because the vessel is hand-formed from solid brass, it is not guaranteed to be 100% watertight. We recommend using a glass insert or liner if you plan to use it for fresh-cut flowers with water.
The gold wash is designed to evolve. As the brass reacts to its environment, it will naturally develop a patina, which may darken or shift in tone to give the piece a more lived-in, antique character.
To preserve the finish, simply wipe the vessel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or polishes, as these can strip the gold wash and interfere with the natural development of the patina.
No, each Bash Vessel is hand-formed, meaning the specific folds and organic indentations will vary slightly from piece to piece. This ensures that every vessel is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculptural object.
The Bash Vessel is primarily intended for decorative use as a sculpture or vase. We do not recommend using it for serving food, as the brass finish is not food-grade.
