Artwork Description

Stone Vase accented with Amethyst Crystals

0.0 x 0.0

My vases are not glass or ceramic. They are constructed from natural stone, bonded with fortified masonry. Each vase has one very decorative face showing exposed aggregates or semi precious minerals and gems. The other sides are solid rock. I saw, split and break the stone to achieve the desired shape of the vase, leaving attractive, natural looking broken edges. Every vase has my initials etched into the stone. Each has a glass core to ensure that it is completely watertight and will not seep any moisture. Cork pads are added to the base to protect furniture. Natural stone is pleasing to the eye, great compliment to blooms and foliage and heavy enough to support sizable floral displays. This particular vase is 18 inches tall and weighs around 20lbs. It is constructed from stone quarried on Vancouver Island, B.C. and is accented with Amethyst crystals from Brazil.
