East Fork x Anfora Contour Vase - Small
Best sculptural accent for minimalists who love fresh floral stems.
The East Fork x Anfora Contour Vase - Small is a beautifully crafted piece, originally designed by Alex and John and now brought to life in collaboration with Anfora, a historic Mexican factory renowned for its slipcasting expertise. Its unique double-lobed gourd silhouette draws inspiration from historical designs found in Chinese porcelain, Persian lusterware, and Japanese sake bottles. Measuring 5.63 inches tall with a 3.25-inch widest curve and a 0.75-inch opening, this vase is perfectly sized to showcase a few stems or stand alone as a sculptural element. Made from durable stoneware, it is also conveniently dishwasher safe.
