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.‎
