Mulopu Silver Medium Vase

While aluminum is naturally water-resistant, this piece is constructed from hand-welded sheets. To ensure the longevity of the artisan welds and prevent potential slow leaks, we recommend using a waterproof plastic liner if you intend to display fresh flowers. Using a liner also protects the interior from mineral deposits and "verdigris" buildup that can occur with hard water.

Yes, the reflective properties of the silver finish make it an excellent tool for lighting design. The hand-hammered texture creates a multi-faceted surface that catches and bounces light in various directions. In smaller urban apartments or dim entryways, this vase acts as a sculptural mirror, helping to distribute light and make the space feel more open and vibrant.

The Mulopu collection is defined by its artisanal production process. Each piece is individually crafted by hand, where aluminum sheets are cut, welded, and then textured. Because of this manual craftsmanship, no two vases are exactly alike. These subtle variations in the hammered pattern ensure that your vase is a unique work of art, adding a sophisticated, "collected" feel to your home decor.

This vase is handcrafted from premium aluminum sheets, offering the brilliant aesthetic of silver without the intensive maintenance. Unlike sterling silver, aluminum is naturally resistant to tarnishing and will not turn black over time. This makes it a superior choice for humid or coastal climates, as the material remains stable and bright even when exposed to salt-heavy air.

Maintaining the luster of this handcrafted piece is simple. Because it is aluminum rather than silver-plated, you should avoid harsh silver polishes or abrasive chemicals which can dull the finish. We recommend using a soft, dry microfiber cloth for regular dusting. For fingerprints or smudges, a slightly damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one will restore its brilliant, reflective surface.

Standing at 29.5 inches tall, this is a significant floor accent. For added security in high-traffic areas or homes with active pets, the 12-inch wide base allows you to easily add weight to the interior. Placing a small bag of decorative sand or polished stones at the bottom will lower the center of gravity, providing extra stability and peace of mind against accidental tipping.
