Large, flat vases and containers are particularly popular for decorating windowsills or sideboards because they take up less space. Rio is completely handcrafted in a special workshop, which is clearly reflected in its surface design. The irregularly linear surface is then treated with an ombre patina. This artisanal surface treatment may vary slightly with each piece, making it a unique item every time. Water should not be left standing permanently in aluminum containers, as the minerals in the water can damage the surface and create small holes. To display fresh flowers in this decorative vessel, a plastic insert should be used. For maintenance, a soft, slightly damp cloth is sufficient.
