This beautiful vase is simple in design, intended purely to showcase the superb mineral composition of the hardstone from which it is crafted. Made from blue calcite, it is in the shape of an urn, with simple, smooth sides and an uncomplicated series of concentric circular bands.
Its striking blue colour is varied with a naturally beautifully array of bands within the stone. The material has been sourced and chosen such that it displays a fantastic cross-section of rock, with rings of differing shades of blues and whites, with a hint of orange showing through. Of 20th century continental origins, it is a wonderful and vibrant decorative work.
