Description
This sculptural vase takes an almond-shaped, eye-like silhouette with a gently pinched neck and a narrow central opening. Made from aluminium, it carries a hand-applied white stonewash finish over a matt, hammered surface, giving it a raw stone-like texture and an organic, rounded profile. The dark grey interior of the opening contrasts with the pale outer shell, adding depth to the piece. It measures 28cm wide, 11cm deep and 24cm high, and weighs 0.67kg, so it sits comfortably on most surfaces without dominating them.
We think it works well on open shelving, a sideboard or a mantel, where its low, horizontal shape draws the eye across the space. Use it as a standalone object for its form alone, or slot in a single dried stem or a small cluster of dry florals through the narrow neck. It pairs happily with other rounded ceramics and metalwork, and suits pared-back, modern and organic interiors. Try grouping it with taller pieces for a layered arrangement, or leave it alone as a quiet focal point on a neutral surface.
The body is cast in aluminium and finished by hand, so slight variation in tone and texture across the stonewash surface is part of its character. The matt, hammered exterior is designed to be tactile rather than polished. Please note the vase is not water safe and is intended for dry florals or display use only. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth and wipe gently as needed. Avoid soaking, harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, which can mark the finish. Handle with care, as the raw stonewash surface can show scuffs if knocked against hard objects.

It measures 28cm wide, 11cm deep and 24cm high, and weighs 0.67kg. The low, horizontal shape suits shelves and sideboards.
Why does the finish look slightly uneven?
