shopaverly Olive Wood Vase 12 in Handcrafted One-of-a-Kind Grain

The Shopaverly Olive Wood Vase is the top of this collection, carved from solid olive wood and standing 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Olive grain is wild — dark veins swirling through pale gold — and it runs differently through every block, so the vase you receive is the only one with its pattern.

Key Features

• Olive wood figure — dramatic dark veining no other wood in the collection has
• One of a kind: the grain on yours will not match the photos, and that is the point
• Dense, heavy wood (2.6 lb) that feels like the price it commands
• Deepens in color over the years with an occasional wipe of oil

Materials and craftsmanship

Olive trees grow slowly and twist as they grow, which is what produces the interlocked grain and dark figure this wood is prized for. Each vase is carved around the grain of its individual block rather than to a fixed pattern — color and veining vary from piece to piece.

How to use

This is a statement piece: let it stand alone, or add a single dried branch. Not watertight — dried stems only. An occasional wipe of olive oil visibly revives the contrast in the grain, the same ritual as an olive wood cutting board.
