Know before you buy
No, this vase is not waterproof. It is intended for decorative use with dried botanicals or as a standalone sculptural piece.
Because the vase has a matte finish and is not dishwasher safe, we recommend gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using water or harsh cleaning agents to preserve the integrity of the clay.
At nearly 15 inches tall, this is a substantial, oversized piece. It works best as a focal point on a large dining table, console, or sideboard where it has enough room to stand out.
The color is achieved through a blend of colored porcelain and local shale clay. The ombré effect is inherent to the material composition and the handcrafted process, rather than a surface-level paint.
The vase features a matte finish, which highlights the organic texture of the slab-built porcelain and shale clay construction.
