Description
The Abucay Vase is a rounded, capsule-shaped vase in aluminium with a brushed brass finish, a warm gold that catches the light along its curved sides. It stands 28cm tall and 17cm across, with softly rounded shoulders rising to a wide open mouth and a neat, slightly recessed foot at the base. Fine brushed lines give the surface a soft sheen rather than a mirror shine, and the gold tone carries on inside the neck. At 0.8KG it is easy to lift and move around the house.
We like it on a console table, a mantelpiece, a bookcase or a hallway side table, anywhere a warm metallic tone can lift a pale wall or a run of natural wood. It is made for artificial and dried flowers only, which suits long-lasting arrangements: a few faux magnolia stems, dried pampas grass, eucalyptus or seed heads that stay looking the same all year. That makes it a good choice for a dim corner, a high shelf or a busy home, since there is no water to change and nothing to wilt. The wide mouth takes a generous bunch, and the 28cm height gives taller stems a balanced, upright line.
Each vase is handmade, so every piece is unique: expect small differences in the brushing and the depth of tone from one vase to the next, which we think is part of its charm. The body is aluminium, and aluminium is a light metal, which is why the vase weighs so little for its size and is easy to reposition when you change a display. It is an indoor piece for living rooms, hallways and bedrooms. As a practical note, fill it with artificial or dried stems only, and trim them to sit a little above the rim so the rounded shape still shows.
