Know before you buy
Because this vase is handcrafted from terracotta, it is porous by nature. We recommend using a liner or a glass insert if you intend to display fresh flowers with water.
To preserve the hand-painted finish, gently dust the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges that could damage the dotted wash texture.
The Ophelia Vase is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, moisture, and temperature fluctuations may cause the terracotta to crack or the finish to degrade.
Yes, the vase features a weighted, classic urn silhouette that provides a stable foundation. It is well-suited for floor placement, though we recommend placing it in a low-traffic area to prevent accidental tipping.
Each piece is hand-thrown and hand-painted by master potters, meaning there will be slight variations in the texture and the application of the white and cream washes. These unique characteristics are part of the artisanal process and ensure your vase is one-of-a-kind.
