Description
The Abucay Vase is a teardrop-shaped aluminium vase in a nickel finish, rising from a rounded body to a slim neck that flares open at the rim. Its surface is worked in vertical stripes, with brighter bands running alongside softer, finely textured ones, so the metal catches the light differently from every angle. It stands 28.5cm tall and measures 13cm across, a size that sits comfortably on a console table, a sideboard or a deep windowsill without crowding the space around it.
We see this nickel vase at home in a hallway, a living room, a bedroom or on a dining table, anywhere a bunch of flowers would add some colour. It is made for artificial and dried flowers only, which suits anyone who wants an arrangement that stays put, with no water to change and no wilting stems. Artificial hydrangeas, pampas grass or a few dried seed heads all look good against the cool silver tone, and the narrow neck gathers stems together so a small bunch still looks generous. The metallic finish sits easily alongside white walls, marble and pale wood, as well as warmer, deeper colour schemes.
Each Abucay Vase is handmade, and every piece is unique, so the pattern of stripes on yours will be its own. Fine tooled lines run across each band, which gives the nickel finish depth and movement rather than a flat, uniform shine. Aluminium does not rust, which makes it a sensible metal for a piece that will sit out on display day after day. At 1.2KG the vase has a pleasing weight in the hand and feels settled once placed. One practical note: keep it for dried and artificial stems only, never fresh flowers standing in water.
