This vessel is turned from silky oak. A slender form, Ideal for a dried floral bud vase. The exterior has been fire-burnt to a deep black, while areas of natural wood are allowed to show through, revealing the grain patterns beneath the surface. Fire has softened and enriched the surface rather than dominating it, allowing the character of the silky oak to remain visible and expressive.

Handcrafted in New Zealand, this contemporary wooden art vessel balances refinement with rawness. A subtle yet distinctive piece, shaped by both the lathe and flame, and intended to be appreciated for its form, texture, and material honesty.
