Haida Gold Vase, Set of 2

At 27.75 inches in height, these vases are considered statement pieces. Their significant scale makes them ideal for floor-standing accents in a corner, flanking a fireplace, or as a focal point on a large entryway console table. In homes with high ceilings or open-concept floor plans, the verticality of these pieces helps draw the eye upward, filling the "visual void" that smaller accessories might leave.

Yes, these vases are crafted from cast aluminum, making them an excellent choice for high-traffic households. Unlike ceramic or glass vases that can shatter if accidentally knocked over by a pet or child, aluminum is a shatterproof material. Its inherent durability ensures the piece maintains its structural integrity even in busy environments.

To preserve the oxidized antique gold finish and the integrity of the textured ridges, we recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, polishing agents, or abrasive sponges, as these can strip the delicate oxidation and dull the metallic luster. For deeper cleaning, a slightly damp cloth with mild, diluted soap can be used, followed immediately by drying.

These vases feature an 8" x 8" footprint, providing a stable base that prevents tipping. To ensure the cast aluminum does not scratch delicate surfaces like glass or polished wood, our expertise suggests adding small adhesive felt pads to the bottom. This provides a protective barrier while maintaining the vase's modern, streamlined silhouette.

Beyond being shatterproof, cast aluminum allows for high levels of intricate, ridges-like texturing that is often more defined than what you find in molded ceramic. Additionally, aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. While ceramic can be heavy and brittle, these aluminum pieces offer a substantial, high-quality heft and stability without the fragility of traditional pottery.

These vases are primarily designed as decorative sculptural accents. Because they are made of cast aluminum with an oxidized antique gold finish, we recommend using a plastic liner if you intend to display live flowers with water. This protects the metal from prolonged moisture exposure and prevents potential mineral buildup from affecting the interior finish.
