Double Gourd Vase

Overlay glass is one of the most demanding techniques in glassmaking.

Multiple layers of coloured glass are carefully applied over a clear crystal base before the vessel is shaped, cooled, cut, polished, and refined entirely by hand. The process requires exceptional precision and extensive experience, as each stage directly influences the final depth, transparency, and brilliance of the piece.

The production of a single vase takes several months and involves numerous manual steps.

The Double Gourd Vase is inspired by the traditional gourd form, a shape long associated with prosperity, abundance, and good fortune throughout Asian culture.

Its gently flowing silhouette creates a sense of balance and harmony, while the rich red tones of Shades of Rouge reveal subtle variations as light moves across the polished surface.

Whether displayed as a standalone sculptural object or arranged as part of a larger collection, the vase commands attention through its simplicity, elegance, and extraordinary craftsmanship.

No two pieces are ever identical.

Minor variations in colour intensity, transparency, and hand-finishing are a natural result of the artisanal production process and form part of each vase's unique character.

Each piece is therefore not only a decorative object, but a singular work of craftsmanship.
