Marais Vase

In every Marais vase, the materials -- colored glass and bleached hardwood -- combine to create an object that is both art sculpture and functional. Inspired by the natural beauty of the raw material, Abrantes designed each piece to speak for itself.

We named the vases after after these infamous AAPI women: Patsy and Grace.

  • Patsy Vase
