This spiked ammonite vase merges organic fossil forms with functional design. A large spiral body wraps around a circular through-hole, while the upper cylinder provides a clean opening for plants, dried stems, or display objects. Sharp spikes and flowing ridges give the piece strong texture and silhouette.

Design Inspiration

The form draws from ammonite fossils and spiral shell geometry. Radiating grooves, layered spikes, and the central aperture create a sense of natural growth while remaining highly sculptural and modern.

Product Overview

This is a complete digital 3D model supplied as manufacturing-ready files. The hollow interior is practical, and exterior details are well-defined for both FDM printing and CNC wood carving.

Key Features

Functional top opening suitable for small plants or decorative use
Bold spiral structure with central circular aperture
Textured ridges and protective spikes for strong visual impact
Stable circular base for secure placement
Scalable geometry that retains detail at different sizes

Benefits

The model prints with moderate supports and machines with predictable toolpaths on the main body. Spikes and ridges add character without excessive fragility, making the piece suitable for both display and light functional use.

Recommended Applications

3D printing (FDM or resin), CNC wood carving, decorative vases, desk planters, modern interior accents, sculptural containers, and small-batch commercial production.

Painting Recommendations

For 3D prints: prime thoroughly, then use stone, wood-tone, or metallic finishes. Gold or contrasting tips on the spikes create a refined accent. Finish with matte or satin clear coat. For CNC wood pieces: oil, wax, or clear satin finish to highlight grain across the spiral surfaces.

Who This Product Is For

3D printing hobbyists, resin printers, CNC machinists, woodworkers, home décor creators, Etsy sellers, and designers seeking functional sculptural pieces with organic character.
