Grave vase bronze in several colours

A grave that holds flowers with the same care you placed them

When you bring flowers to someone you miss, the vase that holds them matters too. This bronze grave vase, the Universum, is designed to stand at a memorial as a permanent, considered presence: steady through every season, suited to the person you are remembering.

Cast in bronze for permanent outdoor use

Bronze is one of the most weather-resistant metals available for outdoor use. This grave vase withstands rain, frost and direct sun without losing its integrity or its appearance. The design is contemporary enough to sit comfortably alongside a wide range of memorials, whether bronze, stainless steel, glass or natural stone. Each vase is treated in a patina bath, which is how the range achieves its different colour tones. If you are choosing a colour, you can match it to the memorial, to the flowers you tend to bring, or simply to what feels right for that person.

How bronze changes over time

With extended outdoor exposure, bronze will gradually shift in tone. This is a natural process, not deterioration. It is part of what bronze does, and it does not compromise the appearance or the dignity of the vase. The Universum remains recognisably itself over years of use.

Practical reassurance for a place you cannot always visit

A grave vase stands on a site where you are not always present. It is worth knowing it will stay where you placed it.

Securing the vase protects the memorial beneath it

The base of the vase has a recess that allows it to be fixed to the memorial with a plug. We recommend having it secured. Without fixing, movement caused by wind or contact can allow sand to work between the bronze base and natural stone, which over time can cause surface damage. Fixing prevents this and gives you one less thing to think about.

The plastic inner vase and frost periods

The Universum has a removable plastic inner vase, which makes cleaning and changing the water straightforward. During prolonged frost, remove the inner vase temporarily. Freezing water can crack the plastic liner, though the bronze outer shell is unaffected by frost. This is a small practical step that keeps the vase in good condition year after year.

The space someone held in your life

Flowers on a grave are one of the oldest ways of saying: I am still thinking of you. The name Universum refers to the space a person occupies in your life, a space that does not simply close when they are gone. The vase that holds those flowers can reflect the same intention. Choosing the colour tone, matching it to the stone, to the blooms you bring, to the overall picture you have in mind: that is not a small detail. That is care, made visible.

Colour and fitting options

The Universum is available in several bronze tones, each achieved through patina bath treatment. It sits well with memorials in bronze, stainless steel, glass and natural stone, in both modern and classical settings. The base recess allows for permanent fixing to the memorial. The plastic inner vase lifts out easily and should be removed during sustained cold periods to prevent frost damage to the liner.

If you are unsure which tone will suit the memorial best, we are happy to talk it through with you at whatever pace suits.
