onyx vases

Onyx vases and bud vases for fresh stems, dried branches or a single flower: small stone vases carved by hand from a single block, for a dining table, a shelf or a bedside.

Stone is coming.

Mid-October, released in small batches.First pick goes to the crate.

about the vases

There are two forms. The Dune vase is low and sculptural, about 6 inches tall on a 4 by 2 inch base. The Origin vase is taller and narrower, about 8 inches tall and 3 across. Both are carved by hand in Balochistan, Pakistan, by artisans working in lineage, and finished in our studio in San Diego, in amber, cream, ivory, sage, blush, sienna and rust.

We leave the stone raw and seal it with beeswax. We don't use chemical polish. It would make the stone tougher and our work easier, and it would stop being raw stone.

Most weigh 1 to 2 lb. Each vase is photographed on its own, and that is the vase we pack.

Quarried where making began.

good to know

Does it hold water?

Yes, for fresh stems or dried. Wipe the outside dry after you fill it, and empty it when the flowers are done. Don't leave it standing in water.

Is the vase in the photo the one I'll get?

Yes. Each one is photographed on its own, and that's the one we pack. There's nothing to compare it to.

How does shipping work?

Every order ships from our studio in San Diego. Ground delivery in the U.S. takes 3 to 6 days, and it's free on orders over $100. We also ship to 25 countries across Asia, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. That takes about a week, priced at checkout.

If a piece arrives damaged, photograph it as it comes out of the box and email hello@saeadesigns.com. We'll sort out a refund or an exchange. Returns are open for 30 days, unused and in the original packaging, with return shipping taken from the refund.
