Cream, honey, and warm rust tones flow through this hand-carved onyx pedestal vase in soft vertical bands, layered with milky white, pale amber, and subtle mineral striations. Natural variations in the stone create gentle movement across the surface, ranging from warm desert neutrals to faint blush and earthy brown accents, giving the piece depth without overpowering the form.
Its tall cylindrical silhouette is grounded by a rounded pedestal base, drawing inspiration from ancient vessels and architectural columns. The balance of height and weight gives this vase a sculptural presence, while the organic color palette keeps it versatile and calming. Style it with fresh or dried florals, tall branches, or allow it to stand alone as a statement object on a shelf, console, or dining table.
Each vase is carved from a single block of natural onyx by artisans in Balochistan, Pakistan, then finished by hand in our San Diego studio. Because onyx is formed over thousands of years, no two pieces are ever alike. The vase you receive will be similar in size, shape, and overall tone to those shown, but will feature its own unique veining, banding, and color placement.
