Product Overview
The eroded peony vase – gold and black bronze sculpture belongs to TYART’s nature collection: a gold vase eroded at the waist, the black peony emerging as negative space where the wall falls away, hollow-cast in bronze by the traditional lost-wax method and hand-finished with polished gold with black patina accents. It is sized for sideboards, consoles and reception counters.
The second model takes the idea further: the waist appears worn away where the bloom emerges, the negative space widening until the flower is fully released — a before-and-after narrative on the same shelf.
The finish is sealed against fingerprints and daily handling. On a sideboard, console or reception counter, the piece works as a quiet anchor in the room — close enough to touch, solid enough to stay put, and simple to care for with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Design Inspiration: The Flower That Breaks the Vase
Western still life painted vases with flowers cut and brought indoors; this series reverses the direction and inverts the form — the flower is the negative space of the vessel, a black peony blooming out of the polished gold wall itself. The image is part design joke, part memento: beauty does not wait for permission. The sculpted black peony reads almost carved, a dark bloom against bright metal, and the eroded rim on the second model lets the breakthrough complete itself.
Craftsmanship: Lost-Wax Casting and Hand Patina
The piece is produced by the traditional lost-wax method. Wax is modelled from the master, invested in a ceramic shell and burnt out, and molten bronze is poured into the cavity, so the finished casting is a hollow bronze shell rather than a solid block — lighter to handle, easier to place, and true to the way fine bronzes have been made for centuries. After casting, the surface is chased and polished by hand, then patinated in layered tones and sealed.
The polished gold surface is brought up by hand and sealed to resist fingerprints; the black peony is patinated in a separate pass so its matte depth stays distinct from the gloss.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can it hold water and real flowers?
It is sealed inside like our other bronzes, but it is conceived as a sculpture rather than a working vase — the open flower breaks the vessel wall. Most clients display it alone or with dried stems above the bloom.
2. Are the two models a pair?
Yes — same peony, same gold, one intact and one eroded. Displayed together they tell the whole story, which makes them a popular shelf pairing and a memorable gift.
3. Can I order this piece in a different color?
Yes. The finish shown is the standard patina of this model, but the same sculpture can be produced in other tones — warm brown, antique gold, verdigris green or a custom two-tone patina. Hand patina is our standard process, so an alternative finish does not significantly affect lead time.
4. Is each sculpture exactly the same?
The casting comes from the same mold, so the form is consistent. The patina, however, is applied by hand, which means slight variations in tone between individual pieces — a normal characteristic of genuine cast bronze.
5. What is the MOQ?
