Slate and Artstone – A vase is a container; it’s a place to put flowers, or other decorative items. By itself they can often feel empty, a floated piece without a purpose, drifting on the decorative strands of your homes dcor. However some vases have a presence, they stand out entirely on their own, demanding attention, riveting the room to their stately gaze. Marble vases are mountain born beauties of strength and durability, and often their impressive features allow them to stand out even when they aren’t adorned by floral companions.
A marble vase is born of nature, formed deep beneath the earth in the bellies of towering mountain ranges. There it is a stew of random chemicals, churned and squashed by the massive density of the earth around them.
When humans finally break them free of their underground prison, the marble itself is raw, and huge, extracted in the form of gigantic slabs. Each slab is a massive masterpiece of natural wonder, with a unique landscape written across its face, representing the mix of chemicals that happened to be present on the revealed surface edge when that stone was quarried.
The marble is then cut, refined, shaped, and finally polished to bring out the full beauty of the material, in the form of powerful, exciting natural marble vases. These pieces are works of natural art, shaped by human design, and available in your home.
There are various colors of marble vases which can be purchased. Traditional styles have emphasized pure colors, such as snow white, or midnight black vases. However marble is available in a wide multitude of colors and its availability in these colors has made the trend favor erratic multicolored pieces. These can often be wild patterns of light and hue which stretch across the surface of the piece.
A marble vase is a decorative accessory that will stand out, even when it’s not being used as a container for flowers. This makes it a unique tool in the design of a room’s atmosphere.
A beautiful selection of multi-colored marble vases can be found at PebbleZ.com – They have pieces crafted from crimson lightning, Onyx stone, obsidian lightning and even ancient million year old fossil stone materials. The article itself was written by stone artist Jim Slate.
