Know before you buy
Yes, the Alura Open Vase is constructed with a watertight porcelain body, making it perfectly safe for fresh floral arrangements.
The opening is designed for minimalist arrangements. It is best suited for a single tropical leaf or one or two slender-stemmed blooms.
The vase features a raised, textured ring pattern that adds depth and tactile interest to the smooth cream-colored porcelain.
No, the vase is designed to be stable on its own. Its wide, ring-shaped base provides a secure foundation for display on shelves, mantels, or tables.
Because of the unique ring shape, we recommend using a soft bottle brush with warm water and mild soap to reach inside the opening. Avoid harsh abrasives that could scratch the porcelain finish.
