Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. Because of the unique ice-cold water technique used to create the textured surface, it is intended to be used as a decorative sculptural object rather than a functional vessel for water and fresh flowers.
This vase is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, or use a slightly damp cloth if necessary, being careful to avoid getting moisture inside the base.
No. Because each piece is mouth-blown in the Kosta studio and crafted using a manual ice-dipping technique, every vase features a unique pattern of cracks. You can expect slight variations in the texture, making your specific piece one-of-a-kind.
The small Crackle Vase measures 4.5 inches in width and 4.8 inches in height. Its compact size makes it ideal for styling on bookshelves, side tables, or as part of a curated tabletop display.
The Crackle Vase is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements, temperature fluctuations, and direct sunlight may affect the integrity of the glass and its textured finish over time.
