Hato Vases 1-3

A set of three vases of staggered heights made from unpainted red cedar wood. Every vase consists of simple, geometric boxes in various shapes that are neatly stacked on top of each other and overhang over smaller bases. The horizontal, angular edges of each vase's compound and dovetail joints are painted with calligraphy ink bleeding into the wood's grain - the tallest and shortest in black; the medium one in vermillion.
