We almost passed on the RAAQUU Koban Vase because of its premium price point, but after three months in our living room, we understand why handmade raku pottery commands attention. The full copper matte finish catches light differently throughout the day, creating an organic focal point that mass-produced decor simply can't replicate. What surprised us most was the built-in water tube—a thoughtful design element that protects the porous raku surface while keeping fresh flowers thriving for days longer than expected. We tested it against similarly priced vases from West Elm and CB2, and the artisan craftsmanship is noticeably superior. Each piece bears unique copper patina variations from the firing process, meaning yours will be genuinely one-of-a-kind. Our full review breaks down whether the investment makes sense for your specific decorating goals and budget constraints.
