Allen House Vase

Yes, the vase is crafted from durable cast stone, making it robust enough for outdoor use. However, if you live in a climate with frequent freeze-thaw cycles, we recommend covering or storing it during winter to prevent potential cracking.

The weight varies significantly by size, ranging from 150 lbs for the small version to 1,000 lbs for the large, full-scale original. Due to the substantial weight, especially for the medium and large sizes, you will need a team or specialized equipment to safely position the piece.

While the vase is designed as a structural architectural piece, it is made of cast stone, which is naturally porous. We recommend using a waterproof liner or insert if you intend to hold water for fresh floral arrangements to protect the finish and prevent seepage.

The matte finish is low-maintenance and designed to age gracefully. You can keep it clean by gently rinsing it with water or wiping it down with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris.

Yes, because each piece is individually handcrafted and made-to-order, you may notice slight variations in the texture or finish. These subtle differences are characteristic of the artisanal process and ensure that your vase is a unique architectural element.
