The Art. 240 – Mezzo Vaso mod. Ortensia (Grande) is a statement decorative piece designed to bring classical elegance to any garden, terrace, or villa setting. Standing at 55 cm (21.7'') in height and weighing approximately 55 kg (121.3 lbs), this large half-vase commands presence with its generous proportions and refined Ortensia-inspired silhouette — a softly rounded body that tapers gracefully toward the base, evoking the timeless forms of traditional Italian ornamental pottery.

Crafted from agglomerato cementizio composto da graniglia di marmo di Carrara e cemento bianco RCK 52,5, this vase combines the natural beauty of authentic Carrara marble aggregate with the structural integrity of high-grade white cement. The result is a surface of subtle luminosity and fine texture, rifinita a mano by skilled artisans at Italpark's workshop in Borgo San Giacomo, Brescia. Each piece carries the character and precision that only hands-on craftsmanship can deliver.

Whether displayed as a standalone decorative element or used as a planter for seasonal flowers and lush greenery, the Ortensia Grande adapts beautifully to a wide range of outdoor environments. Its classic form pairs naturally with formal garden layouts, stone-paved terraces, and the grand entrances of country villas, while its neutral, marble-toned finish complements both traditional and contemporary architectural styles.

Built to withstand year-round outdoor exposure, this cement marble vase Made in Italy is highly resistant to weathering, UV light, and temperature fluctuations — making it a durable investment for any exterior décor project.

Maintenance & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Ortensia Grande, always keep the drainage hole clear: place a 4–5 cm layer of gravel or pebbles at the bottom of the vase before adding soil. It is equally important to raise the vase 3–4 cm off the ground using feet or spacers, preventing the external drainage hole from becoming obstructed by the surface beneath. Please note that water pooling inside the vase poses a frost risk: if water accumulates and freezes during winter, it may cause cracking or structural damage. Proper drainage management is essential, especially in colder climates. Dimensions and weight are to be considered indicative.
