Features

1. An opulent, elegant fan-shaped flared mouth

The top of the vase opens in a fan that extends sideways; at 19.5 cm across, the mouth is generous to the eye and helps flowers spread naturally in a radiating arrangement. The finely serrated cut decoration at the rim adds delicacy and depth to the whole piece.

2. Consummate craft in the refraction of light

The body is covered with intricate, precise geometric pressed patterns and plant motifs. When light passes through the thick crystal glass, countless cut facets refract it with a diamond-like brilliance, casting shimmering, dreamlike shadows on table or wall; even without flowers it is a still-life work with real presence.

3. A steady, solidly weighted base

The foot narrows and then widens again into a cylinder, drawing the visual weight downwards and giving the vase a settled look. The thickly cast glass base also provides excellent support, so the piece stays firmly in place even when holding long stems or heavy cut flowers such as lilies or hydrangeas.
