Description from the seller
A monumental and highly distinctive hand-turned vase, crafted from a single solid piece of weathered teak wood (teak root). Woodturning art. At an impressive 40 cm tall and weighing no less than 10 kilograms, this is a rare, substantial and robust object that immediately draws attention in any interior.
This unique object embodies the pure Wabi-Sabi philosophy: it celebrates the beauty of the natural, the imperfect and the transient. The high-quality teak has a stunning, flame-like grain with deep, dark contrasts and irregular patterns that have formed naturally in the tree root over the years.
Condition and character:
The vase is in beautiful, authentic condition. In keeping with the organic character and natural movement of solid teak, it has a few natural imperfections, including a large hole through a knot on the side and characteristic shrinkage cracks (including on the underside). Because of its open, natural character, the object is not watertight, but it is perfect for dried flowers or decorative branches, or simply as a freestanding art object/sculpture on the floor or a sideboard. You could also place another vase inside it.
Please look carefully at the photos (including the wine bottle for scale) to get an accurate impression of the details, grain and magnificent, robust texture of the teak.
Specifications:
Material: Solid teak wood (teak root)
Height: approx. 40 cm
Weight: approx. 10 kg
Style: Wabi-Sabi, Japandi, Rustic design, Brutalist
