Question 1

What material is used to produce the Small Porto Vase?

Accepted Answer

The Small Porto Vase is produced using 3D printing technology from biodegradable PLA (polylactide) plastic, which is environmentally friendly. This material is durable and lightweight, ensuring a long product lifespan with proper care and handling.

Question 2

Is this vase suitable for fresh flowers with water?

Accepted Answer

The Small Porto Vase is not primarily intended for direct contact with water and fresh flowers, as PLA material is not entirely watertight, and prolonged contact with moisture could affect its structure. Its use is recommended for dried flowers, artificial arrangements, or as a purely decorative accessory.

Question 3

How does the Small Porto Vase differ from other ceramic vases?

Accepted Answer

The Small Porto Vase differs from ceramic vases primarily in material and manufacturing process. While ceramics are heavier and more fragile, the 3D printed PLA vase is lightweight and more resistant to breakage. It also offers a unique texture and modern design, typical of additive manufacturing technology.

Question 4

How can I maintain and clean the Small Porto Vase?

Accepted Answer

To maintain the Small Porto Vase, simply wipe it regularly with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents and harsh chemicals, which could damage the material's surface. Do not wash the vase in a dishwasher.

Question 5

Can the Small Porto Vase be placed outdoors or in direct sunlight?

Accepted Answer

The PLA material from which the vase is made is not resistant to high temperatures and UV radiation. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or placement in hot environments (e.g., in a car by the window) can cause deformation or color change. Indoor placement is recommended only.
