A remarkable decorative vase that captivates with its unique character and organic aesthetic.

Entirely crafted from plant fibers, likely banana leaves, it exemplifies traditional artisanal craftsmanship that highlights the natural material.

The technique used is reminiscent of artisanal productions from Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines or Indonesia, regions where the use of plant fibers is deeply rooted in artisanal traditions.

Its generous ovoid shape and imposing proportions make it a standout decorative piece.

The meticulous layering of the fibers creates a subtle interplay of shades ranging from brown to beige, punctuated by pale green and golden brown tones.

This natural palette gives the piece a presence that is both warm and refined.

Material: natural plant fibers (banana leaves)
Period: circa 1930–1970
Shape: ovoid
Circumference: 97 cm
Weight: 6.40 kg

Condition:
Very good condition considering its age.
There are a few subtle signs of use and slight wear, as well as minor chips, which blend harmoniously with the piece’s natural appearance and in no way detract from its decorative charm.


With its elegant simplicity, authenticity, and unique character, this striking vase will naturally find its place in a contemporary, minimalist, boho-chic, or organic-inspired interior, where it will serve as a remarkable decorative piece.
