Memory Vase
A collection of memory vases with a reliquary
Design by LLEV · Memory Crystal
A vase that keeps a memory
Memory Vase brings together a beautiful everyday object and a place for what we hold dear. Every vase and candle holder in the collection has a reliquary hidden in its base – a sealed compartment for a small keepsake.
It is not only about remembering those who are gone. Memory Vase also keeps the moments we are still living – love, travels, the birth of a child or an anniversary. The memory stays at home, in sight and among flowers.
The reliquary
The base of every piece holds a cavity that is separate from the space for water and flowers. It is sealed with a screw cap made of anodised aluminium with a gasket, so the contents stay dry and safe. The cap opens with a coin and is almost invisible on the base.
For every memory
- ashes of a loved one or a pet
- a lock of hair or fur
- petals from a wedding bouquet or a farewell
- pebbles and sand from travels
- wedding rings and small jewellery
- a letter, a note or a photograph
