Product Insights
At 49 CAD, this vase delivers reactive-glaze uniqueness comparable to studio pottery often priced above 100 CAD, with each piece bearing a one-of-a-kind speckle pattern from the glaze process. The finish has a soft eggshell-like sheen, not glossy or fully matte. While typically watertight for fresh flowers, the brand recommends leak-testing before use. To preserve the satiny finish, hand wash only with mild soap and a soft cloth; it is not dishwasher safe.
