Wood turned and hollowed on a woodturning lathe; the outside of the vase is spirit stained with four colours that are carefully blended to enhance the natural grain that is visible though the finish.
The inside is of the vase is hollowed following the contour of the exterior and left natural.
Lastly, the vase lacquered with several layers of high gloss finish and polished.

Disclaimer:
Wood is a natural product - I cannot guarantee that there won't be further movement over time or depending on the environment it is in, to me this can enhance the piece, but I understand not everybody will like this.
