Description:
Palm sized sea-stone vases by Japanese artist, Mitsuru Koga. Koga follows the natural shape of the stone when carving a natural opening and flattened base so the vase can stand upright. The finishing touch is a mixed media plant made from washi and metal to stand and sway delicately inside each vase. Each vase comes in an original secure box, like jewelry.

Measurements:
Sea Stone Vases: Range of 1.5'' - 2'' for height and length, and around .75'' in width. Each stone will vary in size and shape.
