Hexagon Imperial 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 Hexagon Imperial Vase represents the most monumental expression within Atelier Monochrome – The Overlay Collection.

Defined by its commanding proportions, architectural geometry, and extraordinary depth of colour, it transcends the traditional notion of a vase and becomes a sculptural centrepiece in its own right. Its faceted hexagonal form captures and reflects light from every angle, revealing subtle shifts in tone, transparency, and brilliance throughout the day.

Whether displayed as a standalone statement piece or incorporated into a carefully curated interior, the vase brings a sense of presence, sophistication, and timeless grandeur to any space.

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.
