Metal Vase No. 9 of 9
Approx 8 inches tall
2.25 inches diameter
Waterproofed
These white pipe vases remind me of birch trees in Vermont. When I saw this pipe in the scrap yard I had to have it! It was a rather short pipe and I was only able to get 9 individual vases out of it. About half of them are 5" and under while the others are 6-7.50 inches tall. I particularly love the 'jagged' top cut of this #9 vase, very unique as is the patina, very Wabi Sabi!
The short ones are perfect sized for holding pencils, utensils, paint brushes and even small bouquets of flowers! All of these white birch vases have been sealed and can hold water. Great for outdoor displays and they wont tip over in windy weather!
I've taken solo shots of this vase as well as grouped. You could fill this vase with some of merritthyde's metal flowers: http://www.etsy.com/shop/merritthyde?section_id=7087516. Or perhaps a bouquet of FoundAndAssembled's metal stemmed fence insulator flowers which are available here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/53923095/electric-fence-flowers (if you ask him to I'll betcha he will make you some of these 'capsies' that are shown in the vase as well!)
I've cleaned this pipe with an eco-friendly degreaser both inside and out. The edges have been ground down to a smooth finish. I've cut up galvanized flashing to make the bottom of the vase and painted the interior with rust converter and protective paint. Indoors or out, this is FUN.
*this listing is for #9 only, flowers not included.
Can combine shipping. I usually ship flat rate, however some of these vases are small and light enough that if only ordering 1-2 it might be less expensive to ship normally. I am guessing on shipping prices the best I can, rest assured any postal overcharge of $1 or more will be refunded to you via paypal. If I have undercharged I will pay at no cost to you. Keep in mind these are metal pipes, and they can weight up to 5 lbs so shipping isn't 'cheap'.
