The Brigadier Vase is made of aluminum with a surface that is packed with patina. The submarine shape makes this a narrow decorative accessory that will fit perfectly on slim tables and nightstands without sacrificing its powerful presence. The coloring on the surface of the vase is a mix of gold, bronze and white, and the texture was achieved with a hand-hammered detailing that is very labor intensive. The vase is not watertight, and it will corrode if water is poured into it without a liner.
