About the Craft

This medium-sized vase, with its distinctive green hue and multicoloured accents, is a celebration of the rich handicraft heritage of Kerala, the land often called “God’s Own Country”. The craft of working with bamboo is an ancient tradition passed down through generations of skilled artisans. Each vase begins as a carefully selected stalk of bamboo, a rapidly renewable resource, which is then meticulously treated, cut and woven or shaped entirely by hand. The image provided illustrates a beautiful example of such weaving, showcasing alternating horizontal bands of natural colour with a vibrant lime green, a creative interpretation that highlights the versatility of bamboo. A charming yellow fabric flower is often meticulously attached to the design, adding a cheerful focal point, embodying the intricate detail and care put into each piece. This particular design embodies the sustainable spirit and intricate craftsmanship that define Kerala’s bamboo work, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.

Speciality

The true speciality of this vase lies in its marriage of natural material and expert handiwork. Unlike mass-produced ceramic or glass options, the bamboo offers a unique texture and a gentle green colour, often incorporated into woven patterns, that brings a living element indoors. The specific design, with its cheerful green stripes and a bright yellow flower shown in the image, makes it particularly eye-catching and distinctive. It’s an inherently lightweight piece, which makes it easy to handle and carry, enabling you to frequently change your decor arrangement. The use of bamboo underscores its identity as a sustainable, eco-friendly product. Owning this vase means supporting the traditional craftspeople of Kerala and choosing an item of decor that carries a palpable sense of place and authenticity.

How to Care?

To ensure the longevity of your handcrafted bamboo vase, please follow these simple care guidelines. Since this is a natural handicraft, it is best suited for dry floral arrangements or as a standalone decor item. If you wish to use fresh flowers, we recommend placing a separate, smaller glass or plastic insert inside the bamboo vessel to hold water, protecting the natural material from direct moisture. Keep the vase away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive humidity, which can affect the bamboo’s integrity and colours. To clean, simply wipe the surface gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.

This handcrafted bamboo flower vase is an invitation to elevate your home with natural grace. It is a piece that doesn’t just hold flowers; it holds a story, the story of Kerala’s lush landscapes and the dedicated hands that shaped it. Bring this piece home and feel the immediate, positive difference it makes to your space.
