SSGB Legacy Bud Vase

These unusual bud vases have been made from the deck wood of the SS Great Britain. The wood, removed during conservation work, formed the top deck of the ship from the 1990s until 2023.

Each vase is made by hand from recycled wood, so each one has its own features and quirks. The vases are completely made of wood, so it is recommended not to put water in them, but they are perfect for displaying dried or artificial flowers. 

South Gloucestershire-based woodturner and carver Johannes Roux has a lifelong fascination with maritime history, so for him to work with wood from the ship's deck is a match made in heaven! Drawn to contrasts in texture, form and colour, he creates contemporary pieces that echo ancient design traditions.

For this range, Johannes has designed stunning household objects that preserve the original time-worn surface of the deck while revealing and celebrating the rich colour and grain of the underlying Jarrah wood.

Every piece in this range is hand-made from recycled wood, so each one is slightly different and unique.
