Know before you buy
No. Because every vase is individually hand-painted by Gemma Orkin, the floral depictions and color placement will vary. You should expect your piece to be a unique, one-of-a-kind original rather than a mass-produced replica.
Yes. The vase is crafted from high-fired stoneware, which is a dense, durable ceramic material. It is designed to be both functional and decorative, making it perfectly suitable for holding water and fresh floral arrangements.
We recommend hand-washing the vase with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals to protect the integrity of the hand-painted floral designs.
This is a large-scale piece designed to serve as a focal point in a room. Its size and sturdy stoneware construction make it ideal for substantial, long-stemmed bouquets or large, lush arrangements that require a bit more weight for stability.
High-fired stoneware is fired at very high temperatures, which makes the clay non-porous and exceptionally strong. This process ensures the vase is less prone to chipping and is completely watertight, providing a high-quality, long-lasting finish.
