Know before you buy
While it can hold water for fresh flowers, the age of the brass may result in minor seepage over time. We recommend using a small glass insert or floral foam if you plan to display fresh stems regularly.
The vase features an authentic patina that many collectors prefer to leave untouched. If you wish to brighten the brass, use a gentle, non-abrasive metal polish, but be careful to avoid scrubbing the embossed heron and floral details too aggressively.
Being crafted from solid brass, this vase has a substantial, weighted feel that makes it very stable. It is unlikely to tip over easily, even when holding a full bouquet.
The patina is natural and reflects the item's history, meaning there are variations in tone and texture across the surface. These marks are consistent with 1960s craftsmanship and contribute to its unique, vintage character.
The opening is standard for a decorative vase of this height, designed to accommodate a medium-sized floral arrangement. It is wide enough for a generous bouquet but narrow enough to keep stems upright.
