Notice (For U.S. Buyers)
Shipping costs for orders to the United States include customs duties and clearance fees.

Features & Cultural Context
-
Industrial & Organic: The vases feature a deep, rusty-brown finish that mimics the texture of earth or weathered stone. This "Sabi" (rust/patina) aesthetic is highly prized in Japanese tea ceremonies and flower arranging for its quiet dignity.
-
Modernist Design: The asymmetrical, moon-like shape combined with the architectural vertical ridges gives them a Mid-Century Modern or Brutalist feel. They look like sculptures even without flowers.
-
Heavy Duty: Made of solid iron, this set is exceptionally heavy (3.1 kg total). This stability makes them excellent for holding taller, heavier branches often used in Ikebana, or simply serving as striking bookends or paperweights.
Usage & Decor Ideas
-
Ikebana Display: The narrow mouths are designed to hold single stems or wild branches upright, creating a sharp contrast between the delicate plant life and the hard, cold iron.
-
Industrial Interior: ideal for loft apartments, concrete walls, or rustic wood furniture.
-
Shelf Styling: Display them together to create a layered look, or separate them to carry a theme across a room.
