About project

The popular series of vases GARDEN vases comes in a new edition inspired by the power and beauty of nature.

The vase’s crackling effect is achieved through a delicate process in which the hot hand-blown glass is brushed over sawdust and then quickly dipped in cold water before returning to the kiln for the final time. The result is a unique fragmentary effect that creates a delicate lace that resembles the veining of plants and their roots.

When illuminated by the sun’s rays, the vase plays out a unique drawing game of veins of cracks in the glass. It brings us to a fairy-tale forest landscape, where wood smells and forest flowers. We step on the moss, feel the humidity and hear the birds singing and the flowing stream.

The vases from the Garden ROOTS edition are very delicate and almost blend in with nature.

Each vase is mouth-blown into a wooden mold.

Colored rubies are added to the hot glass to allow a smooth color transition. The exact color and its distribution over the surface is unique for each vase. Each piece is blown separately and its final form is always different.

Signed and certified.

Realization at Ajeto glass factory, Czech Republic.
