Blush pink, milky ivory, and honeyed amber tones flow through this tall sculptural onyx vase, carved from a single block of natural stone. Soft washes of cream and translucent white are traced with warm caramel veining and faint lavender undertones—mineral movement that feels gentle, grounded, and quietly luminous.
Its elongated cylindrical form rises from a rounded pedestal base, creating a sense of calm structure and vertical balance. Subtle tool marks and natural striations remain visible, honoring the raw beauty of the stone and the hand that shaped it.
Style it with fresh or dried florals, delicate branches, or let it stand alone as a sculptural object. This piece brings warmth and intention to dining tables, consoles, shelves, or bedside styling—equally at home in organic modern, wabi-sabi, or quiet luxury interiors.
Each vase is one of a kind. The veining, coloration, and translucency are unique to the stone itself and will vary naturally.
Hand-carved by artisans in Balochistan and designed & finished in our San Diego studio. Crafted slowly, without polish or synthetic sealants, and finished only with food-grade beeswax.

— 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.
