American Made Decorative Ceramic Mantel Vase with Copper Patina

Clean form, contemporary color, and classic craftsmanship! The mantel vase begins life cast in clay with an initial firing in an electric kiln, followed by applications of a specially- crafted copper coating. The individual vase is buried in a primitive pit of sawdust that is ignited and allowed to burn for a period of hours. The smoldering fire results in alluring color variations in the copper that cannot be duplicated. Handmade in the USA.Product care: clean with a duster or soft lint-free cloth, lightly dampened with windex or water. Never use abrasive materials or chemical cleaners. Although the vase has a protective finish, it is considered decorative and should not be used to hold water. A glass or plastic vessel or liner may be placed within the vase to hold water if necessary.
