Barman Vase
This classically shaped bud vase was made from figured maple. The blue coloring adds a modern touch as the dye was absorbed differently by different areas of the wood, accentuating the chatoyance, or rippling, within the wood. Chatoyance is caused when the tree is under stress as it grows, causing the grain to curl back on itself. The effect looks like waves within the wood. This vase is for dried flowers only as it won’t hold water.
Height: 5-1/4”
Top Diameter: 7/8”
Maximum Diameter: 2-1/4”
Bottom Diameter: 1-3/8”
As a child in India, Dr. Purnima Devi Barman was fascinated with greater adjutant storks, leading to her lifelong passion as a wildlife biologist. Fewer than 1200 of these storks exist today, less than 1% of their number a century ago. One major cause of the decline was destruction of their natural habitat. Barman founded the Hargila Army, an all-female conservation movement now comprising over 10,000 women, which protects nesting sites and rehabilitates injured storks to prevent these giant birds from going extinct.
