Yawe Ivory Vase

At 25 inches in height, this vase is considered a "floor-to-tabletop" transitional piece. Its significant height makes it an ideal focal point for an entryway console, a large dining buffet, or even placed directly on the floor in a minimalist corner. When styling, ensure the surface it sits on is at least 30 inches wide to maintain a balanced visual scale and prevent the arrangement from looking top-heavy.

Yes, this piece is specifically designed with a mixed-material construction for added stability. While the top features elegant, glossy ceramic, the base is crafted from concrete. This low center of gravity provides significantly more weight and "heft" than a standard all-ceramic vase, making it much more resistant to being accidentally tipped over by pets or in high-traffic areas.

In smaller living spaces, "visual clutter" can make a room feel cramped. The minimalist design and ivory color of this vase work to prevent this by reflecting light rather than absorbing it. Its tall, slender profile (8" diameter) provides a vertical design element that draws the eye upward, creating an illusion of higher ceilings and a more open, airy atmosphere without taking up significant floor or table real estate.

This vase is primarily designed as a decorative art piece to showcase its unique handmade textures and minimalist ivory finish. While ceramic is naturally durable, we recommend using high-quality silk botanicals or dried decorative branches, such as pampas grass or eucalyptus. If you choose to use real flowers, we suggest using a waterproof liner or a small internal glass vessel to protect the concrete base and the integrity of the handmade finish.

To protect your fine wood surfaces or glass tabletops, we recommend placing a small felt pad or a decorative coaster underneath the concrete base. While the weight of the concrete provides excellent stability, the natural texture of the material can be abrasive if moved frequently across delicate finishes. Using a protective barrier ensures your furniture remains scratch-free while showcasing this heavy, high-quality decorative accent.

Because this vase features two distinct finishes—a glossy top and a matte concrete base—it requires specific care. For the glossy ceramic portion, a soft, damp microfiber cloth is sufficient to remove dust and fingerprints. For the porous concrete base, use a dry, soft-bristled brush or a dry cloth to prevent moisture from soaking into the material. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, which can strip the handmade ivory finish over time.
