Custom vases or for just about any occasion as these can be created for an individual or a couple. These personalized vases have been ordered as wedding gifts, or purchased by the bride-to-be for gifts for her bridesmaids and/or mother gifts. These would be a lovely reminder of a special day and would be something different that your bridesmaid would cherish for years to come. It doesn't just have to be the bridesmaid's initials - if she's married I can also make the vase a couple's monogram. For a small fee of $2 you also have the option of adding a short inscription on the bottom e.g. "Thank you for being my Maid of Honor". If purchased as a wedding vase you can opt to put the wedding date and destination on the bottom. Please read full description.

This vase is approximately 8 to 8-1/2" inches high and is hand thrown and hand carved from white stoneware clay. The glaze is a lightly speckled ivory cream color that has a satin finish (neither shiny nor matte). They are kiln fired to over 2,200 degrees for durability. These are stoneware vases, NOT earthenware which tends to be more prone to chipping. This has a lead time of 4 to 6 weeks, so please keep this in mind if ordering for a wedding gift.

Order of Monogram: For an individual, it is the initial of the first name, the surname, and then the middle name (or maiden name if you prefer). With a traditional couple's monogram, it is the bride's first initial, the surname initial, and then the groom's first initial. If you are unsure just put the full names in and I'll create the monogram in the correct order. For same sex couples, the order is your preference but the surname should always be in the center. For hyphenated surnames please contact me and we'll figure out a way to get both last names in there. Possibly one on top of the other in the center? Please leave the monogram information in the "personalization" area at checkout with the order of the initials, and any message/date you'd like hand inscribed on the bottom of the vase (optional for small fee).

There's a small catch with monograms that I should cover here - sometimes the monogram can spell something undesirable such as ASS or TIT. Make sure their initials don't spell something off putting before continuing. For a situation like this you can go with this style of monogram which is just their two initials with an ampersand: https://www.etsy.com/listing/98626064 or you can change the order of the first names.

***This listing is for one vase only but you have the option of purchasing more than one*** I will refund shipping overages if you buy multiple vases. Etsy has an odd way of calculating shipping so sometimes the shipping prices can seem inflated. I do not charge for handling or materials and just charge for exact shipping costs. Contact me with any questions on shipping. I will refund excess shipping costs when the vases have been packed so I can combine vases and get exact shipping costs.
