Michael Aram Orchid Bud Vase

The Orchid Bud Vase is the quiet centrepiece — a sculptural object in natural brass and white enamel that holds a single stem with more presence than most arrangements three times its size. At 5"L × 3"W × 4.75"H, it's compact enough for a bathroom counter or desk, and considered enough for a dining table. The brass body is hand-textured by Michael Aram's artisans in New Delhi, the white enamel petals applied individually, each one capturing the translucent fragility of the actual orchid bloom.

The Orchid Collection celebrates the orchid as a symbol of purity and grace — "something so captivating," in Michael Aram's own words, "with a sense of purity that I associate with new beginnings." The Bud Vase is the most intimate object in the collection: small in scale, precise in detail, meant to be placed where it will be seen closely. Natural brass develops a gentle patina over time that deepens the richness of the piece.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Orchid Bud Vase differ from the White Orchid Bud Vase?
The Orchid Bud Vase is cast in natural brass with white enamel petal accents — warmer and richer in tone. The White Orchid Bud Vase is all-nickelplate in a cooler, purer white. Both feature the orchid motif; they represent different character expressions of the same inspiration.

Is it dishwasher safe?
No. Wipe with a soft damp cloth only. Natural brass will discolour if soaked or exposed to abrasive cleaning.

Does the natural brass change over time?
Yes — natural brass develops a gentle patina with age that deepens the warmth and character of the piece. This is a feature of the material, not a defect.

What stem size fits the vase?
The Bud Vase is designed for a single stem or a very small arrangement. One orchid, one rose, one tulip, or a single branching stem of something delicate.
