Genuine Alabaster Vase

Alabaster is a fine-grained, translucent form of gypsum, prized for its smooth texture and ability to be carved into intricate shapes. It has been used since ancient times for sculptures, vases, and other decorative objects. Alabaster is relatively soft, making it easy to work with, but also susceptible to scratches and damage.
Alabaster objects often have a warm, luminous appearance due to the stone's translucence. The color of alabaster can range from pure white to creamy yellow or light brown, depending on the presence of impurities. The floral decoration on the vase is likely painted or stained onto the alabaster surface. Given its delicate nature and artistic appeal, alabaster vases are often displayed as decorative items in homes and museums.
