The vases
From mini to maxi, these wooden vases are hand-turned from sustainably sourced wood. They are finished with a mineral oil for a subtle sheen.
Each piece is unique in shape and wood type. The size really highlights the intricate details of the grain, with some showcasing fantastic spalting.
Their organic, flowing curves form a natural base for dried wildflowers and grasses. They are not suitable for water.
The vases are a subtle eyecatcher in your home, pleasing the eye and lovely to touch.
Take care
Recommendations
Refresh your oil-finished items every few months or as required to keep them nourished. Simply apply a thin coat of food safe oil and allow it to absorb overnight. Buff off any excess oil the day after with a soft cloth. This will result in a lovely satin finish. I use natural linseed or tung oil. Good alternatives are grapeseed oil and walnut oil. Mind you: do NOT refresh with walnut oil if there is a chance the item could be used by someone with a nut allergy and don't use vegetable or olive oils as these may turn rancid, imparting an unpleasant smell and taste on items served in your piece.
With reasonable care your piece will last a lifetime (and beyond). Never put the item in a dishwasher and avoid submerging it in water. A wipe down with a damp soapy cloth is the preferred method of cleaning. If you wish to ensure the pristine condition of your piece, protect it from knocks, scuffs, and scratches. Also avoid exposure to liquids and heat.
Light may lighten or darken the colour of some woods over time. This cannot be prevented or reversed. Avoiding exposure to strong light-sources will slow down the process. Contact with water may cause your piece to lose some of its surface luster. If this happens refresh with a food safe oil as noted above.
