Aram Bark Vases
 

Beautiful Birch Bark Vases

These cast metal vases, part of metalsmith Michael Aram's Forest Leaf collection, were inspired by the bark of white birch trees. The containers hold flowers, grasses, or branches, or can stand alone as wood-inspired sculptures. Plus, weaving tiny flowers or grass through the small holes on the top of the vases creates a stunning nature-versus-metal effect.

Bark vases in polished aluminum, from $90, michaelaram.com.
