The Breadfruit Garden Steel Vessel

Hand-forged by skilled metalworkers in Haiti using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Each piece begins as a discarded steel oil drum that is carefully cut, cleaned through burning, and flattened before being hand-shaped and detailed with intricate breadfruit motifs using simple tools and generations of inherited skill.

Perfect as a centerpiece on dining tables, coffee tables, or outdoor patios. Use as a votive holder for ambient lighting, a small planter for succulents, or a decorative bowl for keys and small items. The island-inspired design pairs beautifully with tropical, bohemian, or eclectic decor styles. Ideal for covered outdoor spaces or sunrooms where the steel can develop natural patina.

Transforms waste into wonder by giving new life to discarded oil drums that would otherwise contribute to environmental waste. This upcycling process reduces metal waste while providing sustainable income to Haitian artisans. Each purchase supports traditional metalworking techniques and helps preserve cultural craft heritage in vulnerable communities.

Ships within 2 business days directly from the workshop or nearby stock. Returns accepted within 60 days of delivery. Due to the handmade upcycling process, each piece features unique coloration, patina, and slight variations in size—these are intentional characteristics that make each vessel truly one-of-a-kind.
