Natural edge elm burl decorative wooden vase

£660.00

This vase is crafted from a rare piece of elm burl, a unique and special find due to Dutch elm disease, which has made elm scarce in the country. Burl forms when a tree is damaged, growing around the area to protect itself. This decorative vase, turned on a traditional wood lathe, showcases the raw beauty of the wood. You can also place a glass jar inside if you wish to use it for flowers.
