Product description
Inlaid mother-of-pearl petals create a soft floral motif across this vase's ivory-toned surface, shifting from matte to shimmering iridescence depending on where light hits it. Handcrafted from capiz shell and bamboo, it holds its own as a standalone object as readily as it holds a few chosen stems.
Design Function: A substantial, narrow-necked vase built to anchor a console or dining centerpiece while showcasing a handful of tall stems.
Details at a Glance:
- Materials: 80% capiz shell, 20% bamboo
- Dimensions: 10.2"L x 10.2"W x 13.5"H
- Finish: Natural mother of pearl floral inlay
- Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
Category Standard: Within our vase collection, the Capraia sits in the natural-material, shell-inlay category, distinguished from our glass and ceramic vases by its handcrafted capiz construction and light-catching finish.
How to Style It: Let the shell's shimmer take center stage by styling it solo near a window, or add a few tall preserved branches or airy stems for a fuller look. Swap stems seasonally to keep the display current.
Where It Works Best: Console tables, dining centerpieces, and entryways where a warm, iridescent texture makes an impression.
Mel's Styling Take: I keep this one near a window where the afternoon light hits the shell inlay directly — it changes character throughout the day in a way that a plain ceramic vase never would.
Pairs Well With: 19.5" High Capraia Tall Mother of Pearl Vase · 13" White True Bloom Floral Real Touch 6 Stem Tulip Bundle. Also pairs well with our 25 Inch White True Bloom Real Touch Triple Bloom Ranunculus Stem and our Josephine Footed Bowl for a layered console display.
Also Available In: 19.5" High Capraia Tall Mother of Pearl Vase
Good to Know: The shell surface is decorative rather than watertight, so faux stems or a water-holding insert work best.
Product Insight: Customers choose the 13" size when they want the Capraia's shimmer on a smaller table or console rather than a grand entry display.
Questions About This Piece
Is mother of pearl too delicate for a busy hallway console?
It is 80% capiz shell and 20% bamboo with a natural mother of pearl floral inlay, so treat it as a wipe-and-admire piece, not a catchall for keys. At 13.5 inches high and about 10.2 inches across, it wants a clear spot where it will not get knocked.Will it look yellowed next to bright white ceramics?
Capiz and mother of pearl lean natural and pearly, not stark white. Beside bright white pottery you get a soft contrast; beside cream or stone it sits more tonal.Can I fill it with water for a weekly grocery bouquet?
We have not confirmed it is watertight, so use a glass liner for fresh stems. Day to day, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
