The Alkali vase features an alternating rugged, smooth textured surface in a Forest Stone (green) finish. A texture that is formed by mini explosions caused by the heat of molten glass reacting with a chemical catalyst. The irregularity in the exterior gives this glass vessel a certain rustic charm with a hint of natural splendor. The Alkali vases are constructed of durable, handblown glass affording them endurance in both quality and style.
