Geschmolzene-Glas-Vase in V-Form auf Holzsockel

This art vase takes a distinctive V-shaped silhouette in molten glass, set on a natural Gamal wood base. As with the rest of this range, the glass is understood to be hand-blown and melted directly onto the wood while still hot, following the traditional Balinese process used throughout the collection, though the supplier has not provided a specific written description or measurements for this individual piece.

Symbolism

Balinese glass-and-wood pieces of this kind are generally treated as a meeting of two elements, fire-shaped glass and a slow-grown wood root, with the final form depending on the particular piece of wood used. Many people value that variability as part of the appeal of hand-blown glasswork. As with the rest of the range, the angular V-shaped profile is likely to be unique to this individual vase.

How to use

• Use as a stand-alone sculptural piece, or for a single dried stem.
• Suits a shelf, console table or windowsill.
• Wipe the glass with a soft, damp cloth and keep the wood away from prolonged direct heat or damp.
