Drawing on the exuberant visual language of 17th and 18th-century European court decorative arts, this handcrafted urn vase fuses the clarity of hand-cut crystal with the warm, sculptural depth of cast brass. Its silhouette — a full-bodied ovoid crystal body, cradled by soaring acanthus scroll handles and crowned by a pine-cone finial — speaks directly to the tradition of the great French and Flemish ornamental urns that graced the sideboards and mantlepieces of palace interiors. This is not mere decoration; it is a statement of refinement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe urn body is formed from clear, vertically ribbed crystal, its faceted surface refracting light with remarkable brilliance across every angle. The brass framework — cast and hand-finished by skilled Egyptian artisans — wraps the crystal in a richly detailed embrace: a dentil-and-swag collar at the neck, draped garland mounts cascading down the body, and a broad acanthus-leaf base whose deeply undercut relief reveals genuine casting mastery. The lid, a fluted crystal dome, is topped by a cast brass pine-cone finial — a motif used since antiquity to symbolize wisdom and eternal life. Each scrollwork arm rises from a cluster of cast acanthus leaves, terminating in elegant outward-curling volutes. The brass finish is applied by hand, lending a luminous warmth that complements the crystal's cool transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDimensions \u0026amp; Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing 4 kg, this lidded urn has the satisfying physical presence of a true collector's piece. Its generous proportions — the wide-flared base providing visual stability, the tall arching handles extending the vertical drama — make it equally suited as a standalone centrepiece on a console table, a mantel ornament, or a formal dining table arrangement. The removable lid allows the urn to serve as a decorative vessel for dried botanicals, potpourri, or simply as a sculptural objet d'art. Available in multiple brass finish variants to coordinate with your interior palette.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandcrafted in Egypt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery piece in the Brass \u0026amp; Wood collection is produced in Egypt by craftspeople whose skills span generations of metalworking and decorative arts tradition. This urn is cast, assembled, and finished entirely by hand — no two pieces are precisely identical, and the subtle variations in surface texture are the hallmark of authentic handcraft. Brass \u0026amp; Wood's commitment is to bring the grandeur of classical European decorative traditions into the modern home, faithfully and beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat materials is this urn vase made from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe urn body and lid are crafted from clear ribbed crystal, while the handles, collar mounts, garland swags, finial, and base are cast from solid brass, hand-finished to a high lustre.
