The artistry is in the hand-woven, natural sea grass details & tall, classic shape of the Padma Vase. With its medium size & iron frame that provides structure, this vase can sit on an entryway floor or console table with tall preserved stems or branches. It's also a lovely decorative piece alongside ceramics or metals for styling mixed materials. This vase is not watertight but plastic could be added for a drop-in plant or even florals.
