Hello and Welcome to Vaseguy.com

handmade vase made from natural stone, semiprecious minerals and crystals such as amethyst

My name is John Quinn. I am an Artist - Designer living and working on Saltspring Island which is located on Canada's West Coast.


In the Saltspring Market I'm known as the Vaseguy because I've sold my masonry art vases in the market since 1998.



CAST IN STONE masonry art vases are designed and handmade at my studio on Saltspring Island. Each is a unique piece that will never be replicated. They are made using a blend of techniques borrowed from Lapidary, Mosaic and Stone Masonry.


Cork feet to protect your furniture and an incorporated glass liner make every vase a truly functional piece of Functional Art.

Interested in Buying a Vase?


If you can't make it to Saltspring (yes, we spell it either way) I'm happy to ship my work directly to you and I do so on a satisfaction or money back basis. So check out my "Vases for Sale Page" for more information on the vases and to make a secure online purchase.

Alternatively, take a look through my "Stone Vase Archive" for a past work that might catch your eye. I can never completely replicate a vase, but I may be able to produce one in the same stone and mineral combination. I always send pictures of the completed vase for approval, when work is ordered this way, before requesting payment.
