The Basa Slate Vase is a striking decorative piece, ideal for elevating any home or garden setting. Expertly crafted from natural cut slate, its stylishly yet simple design is complemented by multi-dimensional tones and subtle veining, creating a vessel that is as elegant as it is versatile. Perfect as a feature indoors or a statement planter outdoors, the natural stone brings a tactile, organic beauty that enhances the vibrant colours of cut flowers, foliage, or seasonal arrangements.
For outdoor use, please ensure you select the external option. This allows for proper drainage, protecting the vase or planter from water accumulation and potential splitting in colder weather. Once drained, the vase can no longer be used for indoors use but remains perfect for dried flowers or decorative displays. Non-drilled planters should not be placed outside in freezing temperatures, as this may cause splitting.
Each Basa Slate Vase is unique, natural variations in colour, pattern, and texture create captivating shades of grey, copper, and silver, ensuring that every piece has its own character. Lightweight yet durable, this slate vase is frost- and weather-resistant, and easy to maintain, making it a long-lasting addition to your home or garden décor collection.
Crafted from genuine slate, the Basa Slate Vase combines timeless elegance with functionality, offering a versatile solution for both indoor décor and outdoor planting. Its understated sophistication makes it perfect for centrepieces, floral displays, or as a standalone accent that enhances the natural beauty of any space.
Please note: Decorative items shown in images are not included.
Please note: Slate is a natural material, with variations in colour, texture, and patina that make each piece entirely unique.
Slate is a metamorphic rock with a fine grain, it has the unique ability to be split accurately into straight slabs and plates.
The split sheets each display unique texture and colouration, though always with a predominantly grey base.
Slate varies in colour depending on where it is mined as the individual composition of the rock varies between localities.
Slate is particularly suitable for use as a planter as it has an extremely low water absorption index, meaning that it is resistant to frost damage.
It is incredibly durable and will last for hundreds of years, a Foras slate planter is a planter for life.
*Once your vase or planter has been drilled for drainage to allow for outdoor use, it can no longer be used indoors to hold soil or water due to leakage. However, it can still be brought inside for dried flowers or decorative use. Siting non-drilled planters outside does not constitute grounds for return should the vessel split in colder temperatures.*
Please Note: Slate is a natural material, with variations in colour, texture, and patina that make each piece entirely unique.
