Story Behind the Art:
SaifonI'm 'Nui,' or Saifon Lertromyanant says, 'My family works in wood carving and furniture. For us, quality always comes first.' Mango wood requires special treatment. Saifon selects the wood and lets the logs rest under heaps of wood shavings. She removes the bark and slightly roughens the log, then lathes it to the desired shape. Then the piece is placed in a kiln and fired for three days. It becomes encrusted with a thick layer of smoke, dirt, and impurities and must be polished several times with sandpaper. When the piece is smooth enough, she carves and decorates it. The final step is painting. Depending on the finishing style and the natural wood hue, a piece can take as long as six days to finish. It is lacquered several times and let dry for two days. It is then polished and finished with a final coat of lacquer.
The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities. Measurements may vary slightly.

My entertainment center has seven shelves, I only wanted red items on those shelves. I had already bought several 'red' items from Overstock.com and only wished I had purchased two of these. The vase is tall and sleek, and wonderfully smooth. I was surprised by the effort the sellers went to protect the vase, it was very well packed! No assembly was required.
