Description

Longpi pottery comes from Longpi village in Manipur, where it is made without a potter’s wheel. Artisans grind black serpentine stone, blend it with a clay found only there, then shape, polish and sun-dry each piece before firing it in an open bonfire.

The deep black is the stone itself — no dye, no glaze. The surface stays matte and faintly gritty to the touch, and the iron in the stone gives it real weight for its size.

It stands 11″ tall. Pair it with the Longpi Black Vessel from the same craft, or the Matte Black Bud Vase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh flowers and water?

Our vases are mostly wood or unglazed Longpi stoneware, which are made for dried stems, branches and grasses. Water would mark the wood and soak into the stone.

For fresh flowers, slip a glass jar or vase liner inside and fill that instead. Empty and dry the liner between arrangements.

Which size should I choose?

As a guide: small and bud vases (under 8 inches) suit a bedside, desk or the middle of a dining table. Mid-height vases (around 9 to 12 inches) work on shelves and side tables. Tall vases (14 inches and up) are for consoles, sideboards and the floor beside a chair.

Each vase has a size image with its height and width, so you can check it against the space you have.

How tall should dried stems be?

Aim for stems roughly one and a half to two times the height of the vase. Let them lean and fall naturally rather than standing straight up.

For a bud vase, one to three stems is enough. For a wide vase, build a loose bunch and let it spread.

Why does my vase look slightly different from the photo?

Every vase is shaped and finished by hand, so the grain, carving, texture and tone shift a little from piece to piece. Longpi stoneware also takes its colour from the stone, so the black can read slightly warmer or cooler.

No two are identical, which is the point.

How do I clean a vase?

Dust the outside with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush for carved and ribbed surfaces. If you have used a liner, take it out and let the inside air-dry.

Do not soak or wash wooden or stoneware vases, and keep them out of long hours of direct sun.

How long will delivery take?

Shipping is free on every order. Everything in this collection ships from our US warehouse and arrives within 3-5 business days.

Can I return or exchange it?

If it is not quite right, you can return or exchange it within 14 days of delivery.

It needs to be unused and in its original packaging. Once your return reaches us, we will refund your original payment method.
