Born of the natural characteristics of Estremoz marble, the Ama vases are an elegant and simple display for fresh flowers, dried botanicals, or faux blooms, among many other uses. Manuel Aires Mateus imagined a vase showing an unexpected material for this object, more solid, stony, and deeply contrasting with the fragility of a flower. Hand carved and polished, these pieces are a celebration of craftmanship, tradition and modernism. Ama vase is available in three sizes featuring natural variations in colour and veining of the marble making each vase a one-of-a-kind piece.Each Ama vase is a unrepeatable piece, chosen from a small pre-produced stock in a marble quarry. Since each marble block is unique, each piece appearance may vary from hundreds of possible natural designs and colours.
