vases

A unique vase by Plody Erlanu. The vase is made of fine earthenware cast in a plaster mold with a crystalline glaze. Traditional procedures are combined with delicate shapes. Crystalline glaze occurs as a "defect" during firing. The zinc crystal is cultivated on the surface of the earthenware at specific temperatures. The zinc formations are then allowed to bloom into various shapes and colours. All glazes are prepared and mixed from crushed minerals and metals according to traditional recipes.

The popular series of GARDEN BASIC vases in a new colour range with a special surface that is inspired by the power and beauty of nature. The vase's crackle effect is achieved through a gentle process where hot hand-blown glass is brushed through 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 sunlight, the vase plays out a unique drawing game of veins in the glass. It brings us to a fairy-tale forest landscape full of the smell of wood, forest flowers and moss, where we feel the humidity and hear the birds singing and the stream flowing. Each vase is hand-blown into a wooden mold. Coloured rubies are added to the red-hot glass, which enable a unique subtle colour transition. The vases are hand-cutted and matted using the sandblasting technique. The exact colour, its saturation and distribution over the surface are unique for each vase. Each piece is blown separately and its final form is different every time. Each vase is signed and certified.

The DEW vase is inspired by a state of glass that we could classify as a "frozen liquid" because its atomic structure is closer to a supercooled liquid than to a crystalline state. That is why it is said to be such a solid material and breaks like a crystalline solid, but at the same time flows like a liquid. When forming it at the smelter, the drop is the shape that is most natural to glass and into which it primarily tries to form.

A smaller vase from the Marble vases collection by Veronika Švábeníková. Each of the marble vases has a unique abstract decor created through a series of experiments with oxides and glazes. In every design, the element of chance is of great importance, which makes the vase an unrepeatable original.

The collection consisting of Berry and Pretty Fatty vases is characterized by functionality and minimalist design. It was created as an author's collection, the ambition of which was to design and produce a high-quality and affordable handmade product. All vases were made in several colours in the Moravian glassworks Cerva Bohemia.
