Product Information
Full details
The Portmeirion Minerals Medium Vase in Pink is designed for interior design enthusiasts and gift-givers who appreciate artisanal aesthetics and serene color palettes. Its primary benefit is the unique, tactile contrast created by the reactive glaze and unglazed base, which elevates any floral arrangement or serves as a striking standalone sculptural piece. However, potential buyers should note that due to the reactive glaze application, each vase will feature slight variations in finish, meaning no two pieces are exactly identical.

FAQs
Is the vase suitable for heavy flower arrangements?
Yes, the vase is weighted well and is designed to handle standard medium-sized floral bouquets effectively.
Can I use this vase outdoors?
While durable, it is recommended for indoor use to maintain the integrity of the glaze and the unglazed base.
Is the vase dishwasher safe?
No, we recommend hand washing to preserve the unique finish of the reactive glaze.
Will the unglazed base scratch my furniture?
The base is finished to be as smooth as possible, but for delicate glass or polished wood surfaces, using a soft coaster is recommended.
Does the color fade over time?
No, the color is fired into the glaze, ensuring it remains vibrant under normal indoor lighting conditions.
What is the primary material?
The vase is crafted from high-quality ceramic, featuring a combination of a glossy glaze and a raw, unglazed clay finish.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on the unglazed base
Gently wipe the unglazed area with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid soaking the unglazed portion in water.
Glaze appears slightly different than promotional images
This is a characteristic of the reactive glaze process, which creates individual variations; it is not a defect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your vase in peak condition, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Initial Placement: Ensure the surface is level. If placing on delicate wood, use a small felt pad under the base to avoid any minor abrasions from the unglazed ceramic section.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only using lukewarm water and a mild dish detergent. Avoid abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the glossy reactive glaze.
- Avoid Dishwashers: Due to the artisanal reactive glaze and the porous nature of the unglazed base, machine washing is not recommended as it may compromise the finish over time.
- Filling: When filling with water, ensure you do not exceed the capacity to prevent splashing, particularly when the weight of the water is added to the already substantial ceramic body.
