This is a Box Elder vase that measures 6 inches in diameter by 10 1/4 inches tall. The wall thickness is approximately 3/8″ and the inside is finished as well. Both the inside and outside were colored with black lacquer. The outside features a band of a unique pattern. Iridescent paints were used and are all hand painted. Also, two gold borders were added to further enhance this design. This is one of a kind vase shape, proportions and the enhancements with the touch of gold makes this vase very personal. Multiple coats of lacquer were applied to protect the wood and the enhancements. I signed the bottom of the vase which also features the species of wood used. Will definitely make a statement wherever it is shown. Will also make a great gift, whether it is a wedding, friend or a house warming.
