Bola - large
The spherical BOLA vase has an elegant, timeless design. Each BOLA is unique and handmade. The vase has a matte, rough surface which, together with the pastel colours, is a trademark of our collection. A highlight for any room, with or without flowers, it is always a stylish decorative piece. Now all you have to do is choose one of the two sizes.
Our vases are made fairly and sustainably in a small workshop in Barcelos, Portugal. Thrown on the potter's wheel using locally sourced and recycled clay and finished by hand, each vase is unique. Fired at high temperatures, the vases are strong and durable.
This is where our vases are made
Our vases are made by hand on the potter's wheel in a small factory in Barcelos, Portugal. The factory is our first manufacturer of interior products and so we have a very special relationship with the friendly owner. The factory is family-run and currently employs 6 people, including 2 "Rodistas" who model our products by hand on the potter's wheel. We particularly like the company's good organization, openness and creativity. Only 20 minutes away from Botica Amano's headquarters, we are often on site and can clarify all the details of our production in person. The manageable size and flexibility make the factory an ideal partner for us.
