GARDEN VASES – UNIQUES HAND CUTTED EDITION POMEGRANATE

Year of creation

About project

A unique collectible series of hand-cut vases. 

The Unique vase-objects are mouth-blown into a wooden mold made of czech crystal glass.

Inspired by the architecture of the rare pomegranate fruit and red colored enamel (tinted with gold oxide).

The word GRÁN itself (lat. granum) means grain and is used especially to denote precious metals. GRANATUS gave rise to the word angular, based on the resemblance to a dried pomegranate. According to the structure of the pomegranate, the fragmentation projectile was named “grenade” in many languages.

Hand-cut by the master glass grinder Jiří Štencl, Jablonec nad Nisou, Czech Republic.

The modern silhouette of the vase in an atypical color alludes to the classic Czech tradition of hand glass cutting difficult patterns into crystal.

Each vase is only one original.
