Cocobolo Vase #1

$350.00

Cocobolo is one of the most sought-after hardwoods in the world, and the moment you see it in person, it's obvious why. Native to Central America, it's famous for its deep, jewel-like colors — rich reds, burnt oranges, and dark espresso tones — and a natural grain so vivid it almost looks painted. Crafted with end grain cocobolo on all four sides, this vase turns that wild figuring into a repeating geometric pattern that's genuinely unlike anything else you'll find.

Fitted with a 2” x 2" glass insert, it's fully functional as a vase while keeping the wood completely protected from water. Tuck in a few stems from the farmers market and it instantly becomes the most interesting thing on your table.

Overall size: Approx. 3” x 3” x 9” (Glass Insert: 2” x 2” x 8”)

Product Details

  • The glass insert handles all water contact — remove it for cleaning. Wipe the wood exterior with a dry or barely damp cloth only. Re-oil occasionally with mineral oil to keep the cocobolo looking its best.

  • Cocobolo is a rare, dense hardwood from Central America prized for its extraordinary color — deep reds, burnt oranges, and dark purples that seem to glow from within. No two pieces are alike, and the wood naturally deepens and richens in color over time.

  • All vases are fitted around standard glass vases. Amazon, and other stores you can find online sell 2” x 2” x 8” glass vases. Make sure that the outside dimensions aren’t larger, as can happen sometimes.
