FAQs

What does 'mouth-blown' mean for this vase?

Mouth-blown means that each vase is individually shaped by skilled artisans using a blowpipe to inflate molten glass into a wooden mold. This process results in unique variations in each piece.

How is the crackled effect created?

The distinctive crackled texture is achieved by plunging the hot, freshly blown glass into ice-cold water, causing it to crack. It is then reheated and re-blown to seal these cracks, creating strength and the visual effect.

Is the green color consistent across all vases?

Due to the hand-splattered reactive glaze technique and the nature of glass production, there may be slight variations in the exact shade and pattern of the green color from one vase to another.

Can this vase be used outdoors?

This vase is intended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperatures could damage the material and glaze.

What are the dimensions of the 'Large' size?

Specific dimensions can vary slightly due to the handmade nature, but the 'Large' size is designed to make a significant decorative statement.

How should I clean the crackled surface?

Use a soft, damp cloth for the exterior and a mild soap with a bottle brush for the interior. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass or glaze.

Troubleshooting

Vase appears uneven or slightly wobbly

This is a normal characteristic of mouth-blown glass. Ensure it is placed on a completely flat and stable surface. Minor wobbles are part of its handmade charm.

Uneven color or glaze pattern

The hand-splattered reactive glaze means each vase is unique. Variations in color distribution and pattern are intentional and part of the artisanal process.

Surface scratches or chips

Handle with extreme care. If minor scratches occur, they may blend with the textured surface. For significant chips, consult the retailer for potential repair or replacement options, noting it may be considered normal wear.
