limited edition #104 rosita salmon (no margin)

38.02 excluding VAT

Please note there’s no retail margin on this bottle, because all profits go to charity. You are welcome to purchase it for your personal collection or a special customer or if you want to support the good cause you can have it on the shelves of course, we appreciate that very much. Wholesale price and retail price are the same.

During the first Covid-19 lock downs in 2020 The Bottle Vase Project reached Andrea Arias in Panama. Being a colourful artist herself she got inspired and started looking near the waters in her hometown, Panama City. As the country doesn’t have waste collection everywhere, many people in rural areas have a habit of dumping trash in rivers, which floats down the rivers into the ocean. Therefor she found an awful lot of bottles. Andrea gave her own twist to the project and created the Pandemic series. She painted and decorated the bottles with her typical Andrea Arias signature. With the sales  she raised funds for a local charity that cleans rivers and beach in innovative ways: Marea Verde Panama.

When Foekje heard about Andrea’s project she was obviously excited and offered to collaborate to raise more money for the good cause. Andrea went back to the beach to collect more trash and together they choose this Rosita. Whilst Foekje copied Rosita in porcelain, Andrea made the packaging for this very special edition.

the bottle vase project

the bottle vase project

 The Bottle Vase Project wants to spread awareness about plastic soup, also known as ‘the great pacific garbage patch’, it is characterised by exceptionally high concentrations of plastics that have been trapped there by the circulating currents. Plastic waste drifts there from all over the world, after floating down rivers into seas. Plastics are not biodegradable; they only break down into smaller pieces called microplastics. These are extremely dangerous as they enter the food chain and threaten all kinds of species, including human beings.

The outside of the stained porcelain is biscuit which gives a mat finish similar to plastic. The inside of porcelain bottle vase #104 is glazed to make it waterproof and suitable as a vase or container.

This porcelain vase is hand made in Portugal. The orignal plastic bottlee is used to create a mould. Pigmented liquid porcelain is poured into the mould, leaving a thin layer that forms the shape. After drying, the inside of the bottle is glazed lead-free and fired at 1300 ºC. All this handwork is done by a team of seven craftsmen, therefore none of the bottles are exactly the same. The picture shown is an indication, minor changes in color are possible. Overall the surface is smooth but small defaults do occur and should be considered as a quality of the product.

The vases will be shipped plastic free, double boxed.
