Mini Brass Vase - Sake Gradient Darkened Bottle

**About the Piece|** The mini brass vase is entirely handmade, with each component meticulously soldered. A brushed steel wool finish gives the vase a subtly layered, matte sheen, while a darkening metal dye technique creates a gradient effect in black. Unplated brass develops a unique patina over time as oxides form, imbuing the piece with a living quality that reflects the accumulation of time and the subtle traces of use. **Dimensions|** Approximately 4.3cm x 2.3cm x 1.2cm **Package Contents|** Includes: Cushioning material, care card, and gift box. **Production and Shipping Time|** Each piece is handcrafted to order, requiring approximately 5–10 business days for dispatch (excluding weekends and public holidays). If completed earlier, shipping will be arranged as soon as possible. **Order Information|** Every item is handcrafted by still objects, from metal shaping to the final polish, preserving the delicate textures and warmth inherent in handmade work. Therefore, slight variations in color, texture, and size may occur, which is precisely what makes each piece uniquely special. As brass ages and oxidizes through use, its color will transition from gold to brown, a natural mark left by time. **Care Instructions|** ・Exposure to water accelerates oxidation. If you prefer to maintain the original golden hue, keep the piece as dry as possible. ・To restore its golden luster, you can clean it using baking soda, toothpaste, brass polish, or metal polishing paste. ・After cleaning, a thin layer of beeswax can be applied to slow down the metal's oxidation process. ・For items from the "Flame" or "Darkened Metal" series, regular maintenance with beeswax is recommended. **After-Sales Service|** One complimentary basic maintenance service is provided. Please feel free to contact the studio if you have any questions regarding future care. **About the Brand|** still objects quietly refines each piece, focusing on the intricate details of craftsmanship and the textures that time leaves on materials.
