Inspired by the natural elegance of desert cacti, the three Riccio Cacti stackable vases evoke the organic beauty found in nature, making them not only vessels but also works of art. This vase serves as the base, the RIC 11 and RIC 12 (also available from saltsmillshop) being the centre and top components respectively. The textured surfaces draw upon the quiet resilience of desert flora, embodying the raw, unrefined beauty that arises from the interplay between harsh environments and natural growth. Their forms reflect the adaptability and endurance of plants that thrive in the most challenging conditions. RIC 10 Element Base Vase Height: 20 cm, length of sides: 27 cm Base: Matte Eggplant Dots: Pink Please note, if you buy this piece you just get the aubergine / eggplant coloured vase. It's called the 'Element Base' because it can sit beneath the two other pieces, sold separately and photographed below where the aubergine vase sits beneath of the green and pink pieces. Obviously the three pieces stacked are totally stunning but most people buy the items to display as individual pieces. The choice is yours!
