​This elegant vase features a classic bottle form with a bulbous base that transitions into a long, slender neck. The neck is adorned with two delicate, clear glass loop handles, applied by hand using traditional hot-working techniques. The body is crafted from cased opaline glass in a warm, blush pink tone (selenium glass).
​At 9.5 inches tall, this piece has a commanding presence. Its elongated silhouette makes it a perfect example of Eastern European Postmodern design, bridging the gap between functional ware and sculptural object.
