A hand lathe-turned ebony wood flower vase, part of our ebony collection from Mozambique. The body is tall and slender, fluted from base to lip. A labor of love from start to finish, each one begins as raw ebony hardwood and is expertly turned on a lathe by skilled Mozambican artisans who shape every ridge and detail by hand — a true masterpiece that brings the beauty of African craftsmanship into your home. The narrow opening is made for a few fresh or dried stems or a small arrangement. The artisans live and work in Mozambique's vast woodlands, shaping every flower vase from Mpingo, the Kiswahili name for African blackwood. Differences in tone and slight imperfections confirm the authenticity of both the material and the craftsmanship. The wood is always sustainably and ethically sourced in accordance with sustainable practices.
