FAQs
Can I put fresh flowers in this vase?
No, the Serax Vase L Paper Mache Earth is not waterproof and cannot hold water. It is intended for dried flowers or decorative display only.
How is the vase made?
The vase is crafted using the traditional papier-mâché technique, involving layering paper. It is then hand-finished, resulting in a sculptural form and unique texture.
What are the dimensions of the vase?
The vase measures 26 cm in length, 26 cm in width, and 47 cm in height. The external diameter is 26 cm, and the internal diameter is 14 cm.
Will my vase look exactly like the picture?
Due to the hand-finished nature of the papier-mâché process, each vase may have slight, unique irregularities, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
How should I clean the vase?
Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water and abrasive cleaners to protect the paper-mâché material.
Is the vase durable?
The vase is designed for decorative use. While the papier-mâché provides a solid form, it requires careful handling and should be protected from moisture and direct impact.
What is the 'Earth' series?
The 'Earth' series by Marie Michielssen for Serax celebrates the beauty of paper, print, and recycled materials, offering organically inspired pieces with a focus on texture and form.
Troubleshooting
Vase seems unstable
Ensure the vase is placed on a flat, level surface. Due to its lightweight nature, avoid placing it in high-traffic areas where it could be easily knocked over.
Dust accumulation
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dust, a slightly damp (not wet) cloth can be used very sparingly, followed immediately by drying with a soft cloth.
Minor scuff marks
Attempt to gently buff out minor marks with a soft, dry cloth. Deep scuffs may be permanent due to the nature of the material.
