Grave vase bronze in several colours

A place for flowers that will still be standing in ten years

Bringing flowers to a grave is a quiet, repeated act of love. It deserves somewhere dependable to land. This bronze grave vase is made to sit outdoors, on a headstone or memorial, through every season and year that follows.

Modern shape, enduring material

The vase has a clean, contemporary profile that sits comfortably alongside both traditional and modern memorials, whether stone, stainless steel, glass or bronze. Bronze itself is one of the most weatherproof materials available for outdoor use. It needs no sealing, no annual treatment and no special care. A patination process gives the vase its colour, and because that process can be varied, the vase is available in several different shades. You can choose the tone that suits the memorial and reflects the person you are remembering.

How bronze changes over time

Outdoors, bronze develops naturally. Over months and years, the surface may shift in tone, deepening or taking on a richer character. This is not deterioration. It is what bronze does, and it is part of what makes the material so well suited to a lasting memorial. The integrity of the vase remains entirely intact throughout.

Practical details that matter outdoors

A grave vase that moves in the wind, or slides on wet stone, causes the kind of damage you would rather avoid. This vase has a recess on its base that allows it to be fixed to the memorial via a plug fitting, holding it securely in place and protecting the stone beneath from scratches caused by grit or shifting. We recommend having the vase professionally fixed at the time of installation.

The inner vase and frost care

Inside the bronze vase sits a removable plastic inner vase, which holds water and keeps the arrangement stable. The bronze outer vase is completely unaffected by freezing temperatures. The plastic inner vase, however, can crack if left in place during hard frost. Removing it over winter takes a moment and makes a significant difference to the lifespan of the vase. It is a small piece of maintenance that is very easy to build into a seasonal routine.

Worth choosing carefully

The bond you had with the person you are remembering shapes every choice you make at the graveside, including this one. If you are looking for a grave vase that will look as considered in a decade as it does today, bronze delivers on that. It weathers honestly, holds its form and asks very little of you in return.
