Lava Rock Bud Vase

A kurinuki bud vase made for a single stem, a dry twig, or to sit on its own as a small sculptural object. Carved from a solid block, its uneven form and cut-in surface give it the feeling of a molten rock fragment, broken away and cooled in place. The metallic glaze shifts through smoky charcoal, soft silver, and darker pooled depth, catching light like mineral sheen across stone. Style it with one thin branch or sparse stem, and let it sit with a little space around it so the form and surface can fully stand out. Note: This piece was made through an experimental technique that caused a crack in the base. This is mainly a sculptural piece that can standout by itself, or be functional as a vase, only suitable for dry styling. This cannot contain water.
