Handcrafted in the USA! This vase was turned from a local Maple tree. This Maple vase is polished with a Carnuba Wax. It requires no maintenance other than dusting or cleaning with a soft cloth. Many years down the road, you may want to re-coat with wax, such as Johnson's Paste wax, 'Feed-N'Wax' or similar. While this piece is a vase form, it should not be used to hold water. This product is handmade - please allow slight variations due to the handmade nature of the product. The little imperfections in the wood are characteristic of the hand crafted nature of each piece. Dimensions: approximately 9" tall x 5.5" diameter. This piece ships FREE in the domestic U.S. Satisfaction guaranteed. If this piece does not meet your expectations, please let me know and return it for refund or replacement.
