This 2-piece set of vases is made from reclaimed Bolivian Rosewood, lathe-turned and hand-polished to a satin finsih. It's contemporary design draws inspiration from the shape of stems of South American wild bamboos or "tacuaras".  They are not made to hold liquids but dried flowers or fresh flowers in a glass container look great in them.  Imperfections such as cracks and blemishes are characteristic of the natural beauty of the wood and our Ki-design philosophy mandates we never attempt to eliminate them.  Decorative vases, 5x5 in each, 2-piece set, not for use with any liquid.
