While made of ceramic, it is primarily an art object. For fresh flowers, it is recommended to use a waterproof liner inside the vase to prevent potential damage to the glaze or leaks.

The vase was originally created in 2004 and reissued in 2016 as a limited edition of only 299 pieces, making it a collectible item.

What is the Memphis Experience?

It refers to a collection of ceramic pieces designed by members of the renowned Memphis design collective between 1981 and 1988, known for its distinctive, often postmodern aesthetic.

Can I return the vase if I'm not satisfied?

Return policies vary by retailer. Please refer to the specific terms and conditions of the seller you purchased from.

How should I clean the vase?

Dust with a soft, dry cloth. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Vase arrived damaged

Contact the retailer immediately with photographic evidence of the damage and packaging. Follow their return or replacement procedure.

Glaze appears uneven or has small imperfections

This is often a characteristic of handmade ceramics. Minor variations are part of the unique charm of artisanal products. If the imperfection is significant or concerning, contact the retailer.

Difficulty finding a suitable display location

Consider its size and visual impact. It works best as a focal point on a sturdy surface like a credenza, console table, or as a centerpiece on a large dining table.

  • Serves as a significant decorative statement piece.

Cons

  • Potentially long delivery times (10 days to 3 months).
  • Higher price point due to limited edition and artist recognition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The vase arrives ready for display. Simply unbox carefully and place it on a stable, flat surface.

Compatibility: This vase is primarily a decorative art object. It is compatible with dry floral arrangements or as a standalone sculptural piece. For use with fresh flowers, a waterproof liner or container should be placed inside to prevent water from coming into contact with the ceramic glaze.

Care:

  1. Dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  2. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring it is not wet. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  3. Handle with care to prevent chipping or breakage. Avoid placing in high-traffic areas where it could be knocked over.
  4. Keep away from direct, prolonged sunlight, which can fade glazes over time.
  5. Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations.
