A small opening near the base allows the bottle to hold a dried floral stem or small dried arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocal clay from the Loire Valley of France was formed and kiln-fired using a traditional salt-glazing process. During firing, salt introduced into the kiln created the characteristic glazed surface that distinguishes these vintage pieces. Variations in glaze, color, and dimensions reflect the original production process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1847, Stanislas Renault built a factory in a small Loire Valley village to use the local clay. The company no longer produces these pieces, which were uncovered there, so quantities are limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurface texture shapes how people respond to ceramic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe gravitate toward natural textures because tactile signals from C-tactile (CT) afferents journey through the lamina I pathways to the posterior insular cortex, the region that processes bodily comfort and grounding (Craig et al., 1994; Björnsdotter et al., 2009). The tactile experience of rougher materials, including brushed wood, heavy linen, raw ceramics, and woven fibers, leads to greater insular activation and a more comforting physical groundedness feeling compared to smooth surfaces. When people need to feel more emotionally stable, they look for rich physical sensations to help them feel grounded. Any product with a natural texture provides this sensory anchor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Salt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 11 inches high x 3.5 inches diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Salt glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse: Bud vase for dried flowers; small hole near the base, no liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariation: Vintage piece with slight differences in size, color and glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Une Vie Nomade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46028793511970,"sku":"7201-G8-MS","price":47.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0862\/7961\/8594\/files\/GQ5A6677.png?v=1784727285","url":"https:\/\/sessparker.com\/products\/handcrafted-bonny-ceramic-bottle","provider":"Sess Parker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
