Originating from the historic Makora Krosno glassworks in Poland, this substantial, commanding sculptural vessel weighs a remarkable 8 pounds 6 ounces and exemplifies elite European cased-glass mastery. It features broad, vibrant vertical bands of emerald green, canary yellow, and deep amethyst blues and purple fused side-by-side in the iconic Italian-influenced fasce style. A striking exterior color block encapsulates a brilliant, fiery ruby-red interior casing enveloped within an ultra-thick, optical-quality clear crystal jacket. Mouth-blown by a master artisan, the vase is anchored by a massive, thick-walled base and finished with a perfectly flat, ground, and highly polished underside. Measuring 12 inches tall by 6 inches in diameter, this heavy-duty centerpiece offers immense visual presence, beautifully captured as it refracts ambient light in Postmodern, Memphis-Milano, or eclectic contemporary spaces.
