Frequently Asked Questions
What is travertine?
Travertine is a natural limestone formed when mineral-rich thermal spring water rises to the surface and evaporates, leaving behind layers of calcium carbonate that build up over thousands of years. The result is a dense, naturally veined stone — not a composite or manufactured material.
How is a travertine vase made?
Each vase starts as a hand-selected block of raw travertine, chosen for its color, density, and veining. Our master artisans then hand-carve, hollow, and smooth the block using techniques passed down through generations. Because every vase is carved individually rather than molded, no two are ever exactly alike.
Where does Venus et Fleur source its travertine?
Our travertine is quarried in Turkey's Denizli region, home to some of the world's largest and finest travertine deposits. It's the same stone historically used in structures like the Roman Colosseum and the ancient terraces of Hierapolis.
Is every travertine vase really unique?
Yes. The veining, pitting, and mineral patterning in travertine are formed naturally underground, so each block — and each vase carved from it — has its own one-of-a-kind coloring and texture.
How long do the Eternity® flowers last in a travertine vase?
Our Eternity® flowers are preserved at peak bloom and last up to a year with no water or maintenance required.
Can I replace the flowers in my Grandiose Travertine Vase?
Yes — the Grandiose is designed to be a permanent piece, with flowers you can refresh over time. Once you register your vase using the unique registration link included with your order confirmation, you'll get access to the Grandiose Travertine Insert, which lets you swap in a brand-new arrangement whenever you're ready — no need to replace the vase itself. You can shop replacement inserts here: Grandiose Travertine Insert Only.
Is travertine the same as marble?
No. Both are natural stones, but marble forms under heat and pressure deep underground, while travertine forms at the surface from mineral spring deposits — giving it a warmer tone and a more porous, textured finish than marble.
