Maschera model vase (large)

The Art. 160 Maschera is a large decorative outdoor vase that combines bold proportions with refined classical character. Its wide, generous body tapers toward a sturdy base, while the upper rim is adorned with an expressive mask motif — a timeless decorative element drawn from the Italian sculptural tradition. With a diameter of Ø 52 cm and a height of 43 cm, this piece commands attention whether placed as a standalone ornament or used as a planter on a terrace, in a garden, or at the entrance of a villa.

Crafted from agglomerato cementizio composto da graniglia di marmo di Carrara e cemento bianco RCK 52,5, the Maschera vase offers the natural warmth and texture of authentic Carrara marble in a durable, weather-resistant form. The surface is hand-finished to enhance the depth of the stone aggregate, giving each piece a subtly unique character. At 62 kg, its substantial weight ensures stability even in exposed outdoor settings.

This vase is equally suited to purely decorative display — left empty as a sculptural garden element — or to use as a planter for seasonal flowers, ornamental shrubs, or Mediterranean plants. Its classical mask detail makes it a natural fit for formal gardens, historic villas, and elegant terraces seeking a touch of Italian heritage.

Maintenance & Care

To preserve the vase over time, always ensure the drainage hole remains unobstructed: place a 4–5 cm layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom before adding soil. Raise the vase 3–4 cm off the ground using feet or spacers to prevent the external drainage hole from becoming blocked by the surface beneath. In cold climates, pay particular attention during winter: if water accumulates and freezes inside the vase, frost damage and cracking may occur. Ensuring proper drainage is the most effective preventive measure.

The Art. 160 Maschera is hand-finished in Borgo San Giacomo, Brescia, by Italpark Srl — a company with over five decades of artisanal production in the Italian garden ornament tradition. 100% Made in Italy since 1968. Dimensions and weight are indicative.
