Rustic Spalted Elm Window Vase with Glass Insert

$100.00

Where natural imperfection becomes the art.

This one-of-a-kind flower vase began as a rustic chunk of elm full of natural character — worm holes, bug holes, spalting, weathered grain, and organic markings that could never be duplicated. Rather than hiding those details, this piece celebrates them. Every mark in the wood adds to its story, giving the vase a raw, earthy presence and a distinctly handmade personality.

Turned and shaped by hand, the vase has a stylized vertical form with a unique window-like opening through the body of the wood. This “porthole” design creates a striking visual feature, allowing light and shadow to pass through the piece while the glass insert sits securely within the wooden channel. The result is part functional flower vase, part sculptural art object.

A 2" x 8" glass insert allows the vase to hold water for fresh-cut flowers without exposing the elm to moisture. The clear glass adds a clean contrast to the rugged texture of the spalted wood, making it suitable for fresh flowers, dried stems, or display on its own as a conversation piece.

Rustic, organic, and highly individual, this elm window vase is made for someone who appreciates the beauty of natural imperfections. It is not a factory-perfect object — it is a handmade piece shaped from wood with history, movement, and character. The worm holes, spalting, and natural inclusions are not defects; they are the features that make this vase truly one of a kind.

Dimensions: 12” tall 4 1/4” diameter
