Twenty Third by Deanne Sewu Vessel

Because this vessel is crafted from terracotta clay, it is porous by nature. It is best used as a decorative art object or for dried floral arrangements; if you wish to use it for fresh flowers, we recommend placing a waterproof liner or glass vessel inside to protect your surfaces.

Each Sewu Vessel is individually crafted by local artisans in Indonesia. This means you should expect slight variations in the texture and finish, which are hallmarks of the handmade process and ensure that your piece is truly one-of-a-kind.

To maintain the finish, simply dust the vessel periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the textured surface and the integrity of the terracotta.

The vessel has a substantial, grounded silhouette that provides good stability for tabletop placement. However, because it is made of clay, it is best placed in a location where it won't be easily bumped or knocked over by pets or in high-traffic walkways.

The textured finish adds visual depth and character, which actually helps camouflage minor dust accumulation better than a smooth, glossy surface. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth every few weeks is usually sufficient to keep it looking its best.
