Suruga Bamboo Basketry Flower Vase

No, the bamboo structure is not waterproof on its own. However, the vase includes a removable resin container specifically designed to hold water safely, protecting the bamboo from moisture damage.

The resin container can be hand-washed with mild soap and water. The bamboo exterior should be kept dry; simply wipe it down occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. Do not put any part of this set in the dishwasher.

Given the 1.2-inch opening diameter and 5.9-inch height, this vase is best suited for minimalist arrangements, such as a single stem, a small bunch of wildflowers, or a few sprigs of greenery. It is designed to highlight the beauty of individual stems rather than large bouquets.

While the mat is included to protect your tabletop from potential condensation or scratches, it is a versatile piece of textile. You can certainly use it as a decorative coaster or accent mat for other small objects, provided you keep it clean and dry.

Suruga Bamboo Basketry is a durable, centuries-old craft, but it should be handled with care. Avoid placing it in areas with extreme humidity or direct, harsh sunlight, which can cause the bamboo to dry out or discolor over time.
