This classic vase shape is very similar to the “Table Vase” shape we first produced in 2018. At the time we wanted to develop and offer a single vase shape which ended up being our ever popular Bottle Vase, and unfortunately this shape fell by the wayside. However, we are now happy to say it’s back as a one off, made here in some spectacular Patterned Beech.

To produce this unique material fallen Beech trees are left on their sides for between 3-5 years and during this time the patterns are formed by fungi as they break the log down. Different woodlands contain different species each with their own pattern and colour fingerprints. We are lucky enough to know someone with a woodland that produces very rare, world class examples of this natural artwork.

Once the wood is milled and dried the fungi dies off and beautiful results are locked in place waiting to be revealed by our chisels. Between the time in the woodland and then air drying it can be 6-8 years after the tree came down before we get our hands on this material and our challenge is to make sure that we do it justice and turn something truly beautiful from it. This we find is best accomplished by using clean lines and simple formal shapes which create a skin that contain the somewhat chaotic and organic natural patterns which expand outwards from within the piece.

Vase Height: 15.5cm tall x 7cm wide.

The core drilled hole has a depth of approx. 8.5cm with a hole diameter of 30mm

Finished with a blend of plant oils and waxes that keeps the wood looking as natural as possible as it came from the tree.

For dry / ornamental use only
