Beautiful and simple, this ceramic Ikebana vase designed for flower arrangements looks great in black. An Ikebana sculpture with an irregular circular shape that enhances and embellishes your floral decorations. Japanese oriental style minimalist design.
I have given it an irregular opening with lines perfectly harmonious with the shape of its body.
If your idea is to use it as a pot, you can order it with a drainage hole.

Ikebana vases require some water to help keep flowers and stems looking fresher for longer. You should put just enough water in to cover the kenzan (not included)band no more, as too much can cause stems to rot more quickly.
Replace the water every few days to maintain freshness of the water in the vase or container.
It is recommended not to use it on delicate surfaces, in some cases it may slightly transfer a little moisture.

SLOWLY,
INDIVIDUALLY,
PERSONALLY.
Ceramics is a slow trade and everything is a matter of time. Each work requires several weeks to be carried out and goes through several stages until the final result.
First you have to prepare the clay. It is kneaded to make it homogeneous and to eliminate all air pockets.
The process of the pieces can last from 1 to 2 days.
Final touch-ups are done while the piece is not completely dry.
After drying for a few days, depending on the temperature and humidity, the pieces are ready for high-temperature firing, which reaches 1.240 °C (2.264 ºF) and lasts 3 days.
In the event that the piece is glazed, a first firing is carried out that amounts to 950 °C (1.742 ºF) and lasts 3 days. From the kiln it comes out of a ceramic that is hard but porous and therefore still relatively brittle. Then proceed to glaze and the second firing at 1.240 ºC (2.264 ºF).
COMMITTED TO THE ENVIRONMENT SECURE SHIPPING
I send to your home a container with recyclable materials and minimal plastic. The labels are made of cotton fabric with eco-friendly inks. Each piece is secured inside one or two padded double channel cardboard boxes for your safety.
