vases

The DEKOPR collection is characterized by its simple shapes and original decors. For this collection, Pavla Vachunová combines the approaches of ceramics and graphics. Instead of engraving into porcelain, the decor is created directly by engraving into plaster molds. Simple peasant shapes are thus decorated with patterns reminiscent of snow-covered fallen needles.

The concept of the collection of vases is to find a natural balance in glasswork between free sculpture and meaningful design with a focus on the author's perception and unique handwriting. Vases materialize the physical-biological phenomenon of FUSION – connection and division of cells, expansion and sublimation of liquids. This phenomenon is subsequently transformed architecturally – by a sculptural approach to the material of glass with the added utilitarian function of vase. Each piece is hand-blown by Czech masters, coloured with ruby and then thoroughly polished. With this form of production, there might be subtle flaws in the form of internal bubbles which do not threaten the function and only increase the authenticity of the individual artifacts.

In every design, the element of chance is of great importance, which makes the vase an unrepeatable original.
