Astier de Villatte Round Peggy Soliflore Vase

Yes, the vase is fully functional and designed to hold water for fresh stems. Because it is made from porous terracotta, we recommend placing it on a coaster or protective surface if you are concerned about potential condensation or seepage over long periods.

The glaze is intentionally applied to be slightly translucent, allowing the dark, black terracotta clay beneath to show through in places. This creates a soft, layered look that highlights the handmade nature of the piece rather than a uniform, opaque finish.

Because each vase is hand-pressed into molds and finished by artisans, slight variations in size, shape, and glaze application are expected. These subtle differences are part of the charm and authenticity of Astier de Villatte craftsmanship.

The bottle-shaped silhouette is designed specifically for soliflore arrangements, meaning it is best suited for a single statement stem, a small cluster of wildflowers, or a delicate branch. Its narrow neck provides natural support for keeping stems upright.

We recommend hand-washing the vase gently with mild soap and warm water. Avoid using harsh abrasives or putting it in the dishwasher, as the delicate glaze and terracotta material require careful handling to maintain their finish.
