Wood Vases from Montana

Wood vases and baskets from China
These vases are made from the stumps and roots of the Shan Mu tree found in Fujian Province in China. The small bumps and circular patterns on the vases are where the roolets grew out of the tree trunk and roots. Some of the baskets have developed cracks where the wood has dried out.
