Ink Pot Vase (Large) | Anastasio Home x Janie Kruse Garnett
- Only 6 left in stock!
The same nineteenth-century cone ink bottle, scaled up. The original — what collectors call the umbrella ink — was faceted and wide at the base so a writer's pen couldn't knock it over, and this vase keeps that geometry: a broad cone rising to a ringed shoulder and a short collared neck, carved in Matcha, a pale celadon-green marble, soft and milky.
Most of the weight sits in the base, putting the widest point exactly where tipping starts. At six inches across the foot it takes the loose, mixed bunch you carry in from a garden in one hand, and holds it steady on a desk edge or an open windowsill.
Janie's note: The grown-up version of the little ink jar I kept by my bed as a child — the same shape, sized up for the loose, mixed bunch you bring in from the garden in one hand. — Janie Kruse Garnett
Dimensions: 6" Diameter x 6" H
Janie Kruse Garnett designs jewelry on the logic of classical architecture — trained in art history, with Palladio, Inigo Jones, and the golden ratio among her working references. This collaboration carries that bench-scale precision into stone. Each vessel is drawn from a classical source — a newel-post finial, a mustard pot, a Victorian rose bowl — and engineered to hold flowers in practice: rounded lips where a stem might otherwise snap, wide bases that resist tipping, and enough marble weight to steady a tall, top-heavy bouquet. Every piece is carved in Indian marble by the artisans of our Rajasthan atelier in a limited production run.
Care Instructions
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid acidic foods, harsh chemicals, and abrasive pads. Marble can be buffed with a clean natural oil to restore its shine. Brass and aluminum will slowly deepen in color, gathering the soft patina that comes only with time and touch.
Each piece is one-of-a-kind, shaped by hand from natural stone or cast metal by skilled artisans in Rajasthan, India. Subtle shifts in tone, texture, and form are part of its story—variations we embrace, whether born from the earth or the maker’s touch.
