These black stone vases are a fair trade product handmade in Kenya. They are hand carved out of stone, sanded until smooth, dyed black, and then polished. For decorative use only with dried flowers or botanicals; not intended to hold water. Getting them wet could damage the dye. DIY Fresh Flower Hack: Our stone vases are for decoration only and aren’t meant to hold water, but some of our styles can fit a glass votive or a glass test tube that can hold water perfect for those summer blooms or plant propagation cuttings! The vase is 3 inches wide and stands 7 inches tall.
