Technical Sheet – Flower vases for tombstones
Features, size and mounting methods
General features
One of the essential elements of a tombstone is undoubtedly the flower vase and that’s why Real Votiva
produces a wide range of flower pots and trays. The materials used are bronze, porcelain and steel while
the interior of the vase are available in copper or plastic.
Typically, the flower vases can be mounted on vertical surface (tombstone) or on horizontal surface
(horizontal shelf, tomb or monuments). In addition, there are a series of encased models. The articles
include fastening material (bolts and nuts).
Vases are available both in simple material like bronze, black or white porcelain and steel, or in various
colours, such as chromium, mercury, glitter, marble. Many models are hand decorated or embellished
with bronze finish and decorations, such as roses, vines, doves and gold decorations.
Bronze vases are particularly beautiful and elegant products produced with the lost wax casting and shell
moulding techniques.
These products are covered with a special coating that ensures weatherproof and are very useful especially
for outdoors planted graves.
Flower vases sizes
Vases sizes range from 13 cm to 32 cm in height (H). For some particular models, such as encased vases,
there might also be indicated the diameter.

identification code, "1230", and finally the height, i.e. "/22" indicating 22 cm. All vases are equipped with a
removable inner vase in plastic or copper; for plastic interior the item code is followed by the letters "PL",

Wall mounted vases (P)
Wall mounting is done by two set screws (A, B) that, on one side, screws on the two spacers on the back of
the vase, while on the side of the plaque are fixed with two dice. The installation requires two holes in
correspondence of the two set screws. At the bottom of the vase there is a small hole (1) to drain water.
