Single-flower Vase - Brass

The solid brass single-flower vase
Vase composed of a brass base and a glass test tube that can be used in two ways: upside down to create a herbarium by inserting a few dried flower stems; right side up to put water in the tube to hold some fresh flowers. Discreet and versatile, this vase is a decorative object appreciated on a desk, shelf, or bookcase, in any season.
Each brass piece is carefully crafted by skilled artisans in Japan. The surface has been treated to make scratches and fingerprints less visible. However, there is no clear coating to allow appreciation of the patina from time, use, and environment. Oil and air will naturally darken this piece and make it shinier. This is part of its natural beauty.
If brass pieces are exposed to water or humidity for long periods, the metal may change color more quickly or become stained.
Thus, each piece endures through the years without deteriorating but rather evolves and develops a patina through use.
Picus, founded in 2009 in Tokyo, specializes in creating brass design objects for everyday life. The brand’s creator affectionately calls his products “antiques of the future,” hoping they embody many years of memories.

Usage & Entretien
Raw brass, crafted in Japan
Each PICUS piece is crafted in Japan by brass artisans. No varnish or clear coating: the metal reacts to air, hands, and time, darkening and polishing, and two identical objects always end up distinct. Simple objects for the home and office, designed to last.
THE PICUS EXPERTISE
What makes these objects unique
Made of solid brass
The parts are crafted from solid brass by Japanese artisans. A dense, straightforward metal that catches the light.
No varnish
The surface is not fixed by a transparent treatment: the air and the oil from the hands darken the metal, giving it more character.
Patina, the signature of time
Stripes and reflections create a unique surface. Two identical objects always end up standing out from each other.
Useful items
Trays, card holders, key holders, paperweights: simple shapes that fit perfectly on a desk or in an entryway.
The spirit of travel from days gone by
Luggage tags, hotel keys, engraved clips: PICUS draws inspiration from the world of trains and grand hotels.
An open interview
You can polish it to restore the original gold color, or let time darken the metal. Both stay true to the brand's spirit.
