A long cone that starts on a narrow foot and opens the whole way up to a wide, softly flared rim — the silhouette of a laboratory beaker, built in hammered copper and left to weather. The taper does something the other three do not: it throws the eye upward, so a loose spray of stems reads as taller than it actually is. The verdigris climbs from the base and stops about a third of the way up, which is where the light catches. Browse more Kalalou furniture and decor.

Styling
The wide mouth is the point — it holds a loose, open arrangement without a frog or a florist’s grid, so armfuls of grasses, hydrangea or fall branches fall naturally into place. The narrow foot means it wants a flat, stable surface and a little clearance: a dining table centre, a wide windowsill, or the middle of a sideboard rather than the edge of a crowded shelf. It pairs naturally with the taller bottle in this set for a two-height grouping. More in decor and more and dining room furniture.
Care
- Wipe clean with a lint-free, dry cloth
- Indoor use only — sustained rain or sprinkler spray will keep the patina actively growing
- Not sealed for standing water: use a glass or plastic liner, or a florist’s water tube, for fresh stems
- Dry the inside fully after any contact with water
- Skip abrasive pads, metal polish and copper cleaner — all three strip the verdigris that gives the piece its colour
- Every piece is finished by hand, so patina coverage, tone and the exact line where copper turns to green vary from one to the next
