This vessel is designed to be appreciated on its own for its timeless beauty, but feel free to personalize it with your own delicate display item. Whether you’re celebrating your Irish heritage or simply love finely crafted wood art, this vessel is sure to be a cherished addition to your collection.
The design is simple, elegant and very eye catching. This piece is sanded and waxed to a silky smooth surface so be carful handling it! The wood itself was chosen because of the grain pattern & spalting observed in the wood in its rough form.
Although it is designed to be ornamental, the narrow opening makes it possible to stand a light object like a flower stem or your own personal choice. I believe the piece is stunning on its own.
Please Note
Whatever is stood inside it, please make sure it can't go bad or leak which will spoil the finish.
