This elegantly balanced tin vase is expertly crafted in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture – an area renowned for its metal-casting heritage, producing high-quality items from copper, tin, bronze, and brass. The tin vase undergoes a process of ‘sand casting’ in which molten metal is poured into a sand mould and is subsequently hand-finished, which means no two vases are completely identical. Tin does not rust and its anti-bacterial qualities help slow decay and preserve the longevity of flowers in the vase.

Wash with a mild detergent using a soft sponge.
Occasional polishing with baking soda to bring out the lustre is recommended.
Not dishwasher safe.

Size : H13.0 x W4.2 x D4.2cm
