Know before you buy
Because the brass is left in its raw state, it will naturally oxidize and develop a unique patina. This process creates a darker, more weathered aesthetic that adds character to the piece, though you can use a brass polish if you prefer to maintain the original high-shine gold finish.
Yes, the Bash Vessel can function as a vase for fresh flowers. However, because it is made of untreated brass, we recommend using a liner or being mindful of water contact to prevent potential spotting or accelerated oxidation on the interior surface.
Yes, it is suitable for serving dry food items like fruit. Please note that it is not intended for liquids or acidic foods, which could react with the untreated brass surface.
No, the surface irregularities are intentional. Each vessel is hand-hammered from a single sheet of brass, meaning the 'crumpled' texture and minor marks are deliberate signs of artisanal craftsmanship that make every piece one-of-a-kind.
To clean the vessel, hand wash it gently with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the metal or damage the finish.
Despite its expressive, organic form, the vessel is designed with a stable base. Weighing 2.3 kg, it has a substantial feel that keeps it securely positioned on mantels, tables, or dressers.
