Anna Varendorff, ACV studio —Short 'Uneven U' Thin Tube Vase in Brass

Uneven U Vase is handmade in brass with a matte finish, and is purposefully left untreated so that the warm browns that come from being in contact with water leave a beautiful patination on its surface. This can easily be cleaned with the following instructions.

Brass is made mostly of copper, and during the soldering (making) process some pink from the copper in the brass may rise to the surface and be visible around the join. This is a beautiful marking of the hand-making process and is never the same on any two pieces.

Material: Brass

Dimensions: approx. 33cm x 33cm x 10cm

Cleaning: This vessel can be cleaned with brass cleaning products, but we recommend cleaning with tomato sauce and an abrasive kitchen scourer, washing with mild soap afterwards and drying immediately. This is the least toxic cleaner for brass we know of.
