The figure on this burr elm vase sweeps up the sides in long swirling bands of brown - with a warming hue.The burr contains some nice tight clusters and came off an elm in Pitlochry.
The body tapers down to a small turned foot. Which means the vase lifts slightly rather than sitting flat.
Around the top the live edge of the burr stands out. A sharp contrast above the smooth wood below. There's enough happening on the surface that it holds its own with nothing in it at all.
It also comes with a glass insert, so it takes fresh flowers as well as dried. The glass drops in and lifts out, so you can fill it at the tap and put it back. A single stem or a small bunch of gypsophila suits the opening.
Bark edges are naturally uneven and rough to the touch, and burr carries small voids and dark inclusions.
Burr elm from Pitlochry. 19cm tall, 7.5cm across. Glass insert 30mm x 100mm, sitting in a 32mm x 100mm hole.
Finished with a blend of beeswax, plant-based linseed oil and aromatic orange oil.
