ORIGINALLY $118

Warm walnut brown meets soft sage green and cream in this hand-carved natural onyx vase. Woodgrain-like banding flows across one side while pale green washes the other, meeting at a translucent agate window — a sculptural dune-like form with a stepped geometric base, grounded and architectural from every angle.

Carved from a single block of raw onyx, the stone reveals flowing bands of caramel, rust, sage, and cream. Each side tells a different story, shaped entirely by nature and finished by hand. No two vases are ever the same.

This vase is suitable for both fresh or dried florals, branches, or greenery. It also stands beautifully on its own as a sculptural object — perfect for styling on a coffee table, console, dresser, shelf, or dining surface. Its weight and form give it a sense of permanence while the stone's translucency allows light to soften its presence.

Left raw and unpolished to preserve the natural texture of the stone, this piece is finished with food-grade beeswax only — never resin, lacquer, or chemical polish.

This piece is gently imperfect — a small natural irregularity in the carve, in keeping with the nature of handwork. Nothing that affects its use or beauty, which is why it's offered at a reduced price.

— the origin

carved from a single stone.

Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.

We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.
