These large floor vases are entirely handcrafted from natural bamboo by artisans in Southeast Asia. The bamboo pieces are cut into thin strips, which are then curved around a frame and formed into the shape of the vase. The vases are then carefully sanded to a smooth, curved shape, and silver leaf is then applied to the surface in small square sheets. It is the Silverleaf under the color glaze that gives the vase depth and shimmering elegance that makes it a work of art.
