Born Broken Vase

Inspired by the craft itself, these vases remind us of the otherwise unseen aspects of glass production – its errors. What would normally be considered an irreparable mistake caused by a clumsy glassblower, purposefully becomes the center of attention and a technical challenge. Each hand-blown shape is broken into several segments and their edges additionally hammered to create a pattern visually akin to cutting. The individual pieces are reheated and joined into one unit, creating a safe and compact surface, but retaining their intriguing random patterns. Hand made in the Czech Republic.
